I'm thinking though that this isn't really the problem. When I install Slackware, I install everything (except for games). On my older PC I installed version 8.1 and had no problems, but now with version 10 I have problems. I'm pretty sure that zlib-dev or zlib-devel has never been included in either version of Slack. So I think I'm just going around in circles with this. Thoughts......

The zlib-devel package contains the header files (zlib.h for example) you need for compiling against it. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
