All, I have resolved this now. basically on your build server where you are compiling zlib make sure the following is installed: zlib-devel-1.2.3-15.2 this gives the correct libraries for compiling the product. None of the libraries are used for runtime though so they shouldn't be required on your production webservers.

Hi there, i have an issue are the moment compiling apache2.2.4 with mod_deflate as a shared module. I have the following configured: configure.sh: ------------- has --with-z configure with the path to the zlib.h set as /usr , as the configure process wants to add /include to this path but won't search down into the linux subdirectory to find the zlib.h file. zlib packages: -------------- zlib-1.2.3-15.2 zlib-32bit-1.2.3-15.2 The zlib.h comes as part of glibc-devel-2.4-31.2 package and is located in /usr/include/linux When i run the configure script this complains with the following: configure:10474: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -pthread -DLINUX=2 -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -I$(top_builddir)/srclib/pcre -I. -I$(top_srcdir)/os/$(OS_DIR) -I$(top_srcdir)/server/mpm/$(MPM_SUBDIR_NAME) -I$(top_srcdir)/modules/http -I$(top_srcdir)/modules/filters -I$(top_srcdir)/modules/proxy -I$(top_srcdir)/include -I$(top_srcdir)/modules/generators -I$(top_srcdir)/modules/mappers -I$(top_srcdir)/modules/database -I/build/apache/httpd-2.2.4/srclib/apr/include -I/build/apache/httpd-2.2.4/srclib/apr-util/include -I/usr/include/include -L/usr/include/lib conftest.c -lm -lz >&5 conftest.c:37:18: error: zlib.h: No such file or directory Has anyone got any pointers for configuring mod_deflate with the SLES10 default zlib? cheers Steve Steve Foster | Capgemini UK | Telford Shared Technology Services T. +44 (0) 1952 296664 | www.capgemini.com Internal: 46664 Together: the Collaborative Business Experience Capgemini is a trading name used by the Capgemini Group of companies which includes Capgemini UK plc, a company registered in England and Wales (number 943935) whose registered office is at No. 1 Forge End, Woking, Surrey, GU21 6DB.
