I've been trying to get the info command on my Slackware 3.5 system to
work. Whenever I type info, I get the message "libz.so.1 not found".
I've looked at all lib files on my system and this file doesn't exist.
After searching the Debian site where I first downloaded Slackware 3.5,
I am unable to find any precompiled version of this lib or the source
for it. Until I can get info to work, the only way I can read the info
files for various programs is via emacs or by unzipping them and using
elvis (which is a pain). Using emacs is ok I guess, but being new to
Linux, I still need to learn emacs itself. I did unzip the info.gz file
but it contains instructions on how to use the info program, no help on
what to do if the program doesnt' work. A file labeled Manifest.gz
contains a listing of all files contained in the Slackware distribution,
and in reviewing it I could not see where this lib was located. Nothing
has appeared on any of the linux newsgroups concerning any problems with
the info command. Any assistance is much appreciated.
