Unable to find -lz (zlib). Please install a zlib developer's package.
Now I've installed two packages:
  1. zlib1-1.2.1.1-3.2.101mdk.i386.rpm
  2. perl-Compress-Zlib-1.37-0.1.101mdk.i586.rpm

Both of them come with zlib.so (one uses a capital Z).

When I compile the software again, I get the same error. What gives with this.

Man, you should install zlib-devel, or how does it call in your distro.

Do you have both zlib and the zlib development package?

EXAMPLE:
rpm -qa|grep -i zlib
zlib-1.2.2-5
zlib-devel-1.2.2-5
<= "RPM -QA|GREP -I ZIP" SHOULD SHOW YOU BOTH OF THESE

'Hope that helps
