Make sure that zlib is installed... look for libz.a and libz.so (you probably need the .so for X, but I'm not properly certain, since I've always built both static and shared zlib). If you just have the .a, you can use ld to make a shared lib out of it, but I don't remember the exact options.

However, I am again, getting the error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I have had this before and I had to upgrade my kernel to the latest version, which I have done. My binutils and libc6 are also up-to-date. Any ideas anyone?? -- Stuart _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
