bingo - I created a sym link doing this: # ls -l /usr/lib64/libz.* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 108692 Jul 19 2006 /usr/lib64/libz.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jan 13 18:46 /usr/lib64/libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.3 ... ...
and the install worked. Previously I had libz.so.1 and libz.so.1.2.3, which seems to have been the cause of the problem. Thanks for the help Tom.
