I'm trying to build this version of ssh on my solaris
2.8 system and can't get past the configure stage.

Configure seems to be looking for zlib and fails
even when I specify --without-zlib or --disable-zlib.

I'm enclosing the build log as part of this bug report.

Regards and THANKS for the cool software.

George...
