Summary: config throws an error due to missing zlib (but zlib
present)
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 3.7.1p1
Platform: ix86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: Build system
AssignedTo: openssh-bugs@mindrot.org
ReportedBy: simone@piyosailing.com

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.

I don't have the -devel lib.
I'll download it and try

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.

Yes, with the -devel package it worked fine.
Thank you
