Hi,

i recently downloaded the source for gnupg-0.9.8, but when i try to
compile it, it gives the error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lz: No such file or directory

the line before it is 
gcc  -g -O2 -Wall -Wcast-align -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes  -o mpicalc  mpicalc.o 
../cipher/libcipher.a  ../util/libutil.a           ../mpi/libmpi.a ../util/libutil.a  
-lz -ldl -lnsl  -lnsl

At the end of the ./configure stage it said:
creating gcrypt/Makefile
sed: can't read ./gcrypt/Makefile.in: No such file or directory

But this didn't seem to be a problem, it made the ./gcrypt/Makefile
anyway.

I am running RH6.0 on a K6. Do i need a newer version of binutils
than 2.9.1.0.23-1? According to rpm, binutils is what provides ld, and
ld seems to be misunderstanding. I compiled gnupg-0.9.7 fine, it didn't
have any problems.

Thanks,
