Installation

[Richard Heyes <richardh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Trying to install PHP, however it's failing with the following:

Configuring extensions
checking whether to enable LIBXML support... yes
checking libxml2 install dir... /usr/lib64
checking for xml2-config path... /usr/bin/xml2-config
checking whether libxml build works... no
configure: error: build test failed.  Please check the config.log for 
details.


The following is in config.log:

configure:20028: checking whether libxml build works
configure:20055: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c

         -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl  -lxml2 -lz -lm 1>&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 20044 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"


    char xmlInitParser();
    int main() {
      xmlInitParser();
      return 0;
    }



If it helps, this is a bit of an `ls -l` of /usr/lib64:

libxml2.so -> libxml2.so.2.6.27
libxml2.so.2 -> libxml2.so.2.6.27
libxml2.so.2.6.19
libxml2.so.2.6.27

Thanks.
