LyX searches for zlib.h and libz (the include file and the library), if they are in the standard paths this should not be a problem. Notice that if you have installed a dynamic library (.so) you need to run ldconfig (as root) so that it knows about it. > --John > Registered Linux User #291592 -- José Abílio
