Cannot ./configure...problem with XFree86
 

I'm new here, and I'm trying to compile and install Quanta on SuSE 9.1. This is what happens at the end before it errors out:
How can I fix this problem? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

locate libz

Remove oldest version, run ldconfig, try to compile
again. Same thing again if it didn't fix it. If only one libz
left, don't delete :) and ask for more advice.

Hey, thanks for the response.

I seem to only have one version of libz. At least, that's all I found. Where else can I look? I looked in /usr/lib and in /lib.

locate is also an actual command...

Try
bash:# locate libz

That's what I get.

(s)locate-package not installed ... how about
file-utils, does
find
work for you?

find / -name libz*


Cheers,
Tink

founds /lib/libz.so.1 and /lib/libz.so.1.2.1, now please? I have the same problem?

You may find that you'll need a lot of "-devel" packages installed before Rosegarden will configure.

zlib-devel
qt3-devel
and a number of kde*3-devel (not sure which, I installed quite a few over time)

Give it a go, it's worth it!

Hello Tinkster
 

Hello Tinkster,

I am also facing the same problem as "PsychoBadBoy" i.e. " ..... configure picks up an outdated version installed by XFree86 .... "

I tried what u suggested i.e.

1. locate libz
2. Remove oldest version
3. run ldconfig

then i tried to compile again and got same error ..... then i did "locate libz" and again i see that the file is again there, although i had deleted it ....

what to do ... ???

Thanks in advance.
