Hi all,

Having the following problem with compiling transcode, I tried the slackbuilds and that is failing as well so I thought Id try the source files

ffmpeg compiles fine,
x264 compiles fine,
transcode creates the following error ..

checking for XpmFreeAttributes in -lXpm... yes
checking for gzopen in -lz... no
configure: error: transcode depends on libz, but cannot links against libz

found a similar error installing subtitleripper



-- Build files have been written to: /tmp/SBo/subtitleripper

Does anyone know how to solve this, is it a linking problem ? ..

Thanx
