Topic: Help with zlib please

[Troy]

Hello all,
I am trying to compile a C++ program called webalyzer onto an sme server ver 5.12, soon to be updated to 5.6.
When I begin the configure process it comes back saying

configure: error: z library not found... please install zlib.

So I downloaded zlib and went to install it and got

#rpm -i zlib-1.1.4-8.7x.i386.rpm
package zlib-1.1.4-8.7x is already installed

Can anybody please help me out with this please?
Thanks in advance,
Troy

Try zlib-devel

Note I would try getting zlib-devel from the Redhat errata packages.  I think 5.1.2 is RH 7.1 based.

If you mean "webalizer", then you can save yourself a lot of trouble and use a prebuilt RPM:
