Description Simone 2003-09-17 23:13:22 AEST 
I just follow the INSTALL instructions:
uncompress
./configure

but i receive this error:
checking for deflate in -lz... no
configure: error: *** zlib missing - please install first or check config.log 
***

but I've already an openssh server running on the machine (but installed from 
an RPM) and also I've the latest version of both openssl (openssl-0.9.6b-32.7) 
and zlib (zlib-1.1.4-8.7x).

So I cannot run the makefile and so install the new relase

Do you have the zlib-devel package installed?  -devel packages are generally required for 
compilation.
Comment 2 Simone 2003-09-18 00:18:37 AEST 
I don't have the -devel lib.
I'll download it and try
Comment 3 Jason McCormick 2003-09-18 06:11:16 AEST 
Did this fix the problem?  I've tried re-building from source several times on
Linux/RPM-based distros with no problems with zlib on 5 platforms.
Comment 4 Simone 2003-09-18 06:40:55 AEST 
Yes, with the -devel package it worked fine.
Thank you
