Re: Difference between versions--Question
It would be helpful to know why I can't get compression in my build. I've tried to build from source three times now. There are so many packages in Ubuntu with zip, zlib, and bzip2 in the name I can't begin to try them all. I've looked at config.log and it doesn't give much help.

Re: Difference between versions--Question
How do I run configure to get the compression routines? I ran the build exactly like the README file indicated I should. FYI, this is the first time I've built from source. kcs On Mon, Oct 31, 2022 at 9:44 AM Ingo Klöcker wrote: > > On Montag, 31.
