Hello guys,
i want to compile Graphviz but i got stuck on a nice problem which i cant resolve. Here it is. I downloaded the 2.26.2 version and made the usual configure etc.. But i received such an error during compile time:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/domine/Downloads/graphviz-2.26.2/cmd'

Now i dont have any idea how to solve that. Ive been reading on the net but couldnt find any solution cos i could find any similar problem. I know its a sort of linking problem but what no idea.
I am on Slackware 13 64. I think i have all the libraries needed as well. I tried and the SlackBuild but same problem. Something weird is happening for sure.I tried and other versions but no luck. Its always that problem.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Dimitar

the missing lib could be zlib, the missing symbols look like that they are from there

Thanks for the reply,
i checked for zlib. I have it, even is the same version as posted on graphviz site.
Any other suggestion i could try out.

Greetings

Hi a4z,

Update: I just upgraded my Zlib to 1.2.4 and now Graphviz compiled
Thank you again for the hint

Cheers

Hi Domine,

I just built graphviz-2.26.2.tar.gz using the current Slackbuild from SBo on a clean Slackware 13, pure x86_64 which I also just finished installing - no problems here.

Maybe you should reinstall your zlib package in case it was corrupted?

Also check the MD5 on the source maybe...

EDIT: HA! I see you got it going while I was compiling! Good luck! /EDIT:

Same thing here: I just rebuilt the slackbuild in slackware64-current without any problem.

hi guys,
thank you for the posts
I think i figured out what was the problem. I found that when i configured at the beginning there was wrong link to library ezlib because in gvc i got that "ecrc32" which is turns out to be in the ezlib. I found that ezlib is a lib from the Emboss package which ive installed some time ago. Btw today i managed to build with zlib-1.2.3 as well(first removed 1.2.4 then installed package 1.2.3 and then it built) but i changed to 1.2.4 cause is new and i already installed my Graphviz with 1.2.4.
Anyway, problem solved
Slackware rulz!

Thank you again
Cheers
