Re: Compiling errors with Zlib

Paul,

> Hello, I am trying to compile openssh-3.6.1p1 on my Redhat 6.2 box

Is the "zlib-devel" package installed? (rpm -qi zlib-devel) If not, do you have the zlib library and headers installed otherwise?

> Here is the configure statement that I am using:

If you're using Red Hat's stock zlib package, it would be in /usr/lib, not in /usr/local/lib. What's with the --with-libs="-ltinfo -lm" statement, anyway?

> All libraries are in the noted directories, openssl has been compiled with

Something is going seriously wrong with configure (that "yes" part there). -R is Solaris-ish for -rpath, it shouldn't appear on Linux.
