...and if you configured with --without-zlib? Hm... The problem is, as I see that the test routines cannot check if the zlib is compiled-in or not. I usually build with --without-zlib for some weird unimportant reasons. I think that the code IS allright, as it allows the fallback when no zlib is compiled in. But what is if the zlib is compiled but not found on runtime? Well, this should obviously result in process not being able to start, right? Now, was your code compiled with zlib support and the zlib library was not installed? OTOH, if you do not explicitly disable the zlib support then the build should fail. That is true. Cheers Zoran
