> *NOTHING* should ever link against a static zlib IMO. Otherwise you
have a rehash of the problems back in ... what was it, 2002 or so I think?
... when zlib had a buffer overflow fixed, and everything on the planet
needed to be relinked.
Thanks for bringing that attention to me. I was just assuming that some
packages would use libz.a, but now that you brought it to my attention,
it's a very bad idea. As for the Perl Compress::Raw::Zlib issue, let's do
what gespinasse did and use "LIB = /lib" instead of "LIB = /usr/lib", and
see if that works.
