I notice that, while building C applications that use the

The different systems have different mysql versions installed, so is
this due to the difference in the versions?
Can someone explain, generally, what functions in libmysqlclient,
make use of the libz library and why? And was libz, then, not
required in older versions in the past?
It's used to support the --compress option that causes traffic
over the client/server protocol to be compressed.
