Error installing MyODBC - Please help...

Hello all.  I'm trying to 'make' MyODBC, and I receive the following error:
 
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -Iyes/include -O3

does anyone know what this means or what I need to do to resolve this issue?

Installation Problem - PLEASE HELP

[Morgan, Andrew R.]

Hi all.  I am trying to install mySql on Solaris 2.6. I am getting the following error 
during 'make':
 
ld: fatal: library -lz: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to .libs/libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0
make[2]: *** [libmysqlclient.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/virtual/mysql-3.23.58/libmysql'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/virtual/mysql-3.23.58'
make: *** [all] Error 2

This has happened with this and more recent versions of mySql at the same point.  What 
do I need to do to fix this problem?
 
Thanks

 It means that it didn't find the zlib library at link time. The configure
 script found it and enabled the use of it, but when it came to linking it
 somehow doesn't find it.
 
 You can fix this by setting up your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or similar) to include
 the path of your zlib.

Presumably, you are using gcc to compile and Solaris ld to link.  That's 
fine, but the problem is that Solaris ld doesn't looks in /usr/local/lib 
(I'm assuming that's where you put zlib) by default.  You can set 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but that really isn't the Solaris way.  It works, 
sometimes, but not quite in the same way as other systems (e.g. Linux). 
  In any case, it isn't needed if you pass the proper flags.  It's been 
a while since I built anything under Solaris 2.6, but my memory is that 
you need to set the -L and -R flags.  So, assuming your zlib is in 
/usr/local/lib, you need to set

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib

before you run configure.  -L sets the link time library path and -R 
sets the run time library path.  This way, both ld and the program you 
build will look in /usr/local/lib in addition to /usr/lib, without the 
need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  See `man ld` for details.
