Actually it built but it won't run. It looks like you have a dynamic zlib that's not in the standard library paths. You need to specify a blibpath to include the directory where zlib lives.
This is described in README.platform: If you wish to use dynamic libraries that aren't in the normal system locations (eg IBM's OpenSSL and zlib packages) then you will need to define the environment variable blibpath before running configure, eg blibpath=/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib ./configure \ --with-ssl-dir=/opt/freeware --with-zlib=/opt/freeware Also, 3.9p1 is quite old, you might want to use the current version (5.2p1). -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience.
