Good Folks:
Having trouble installing Compress::Zlib on OS X. (The make test fails.)
I�m not sure if the problem is with the Perl library or with the Zlib
libraries.
The Zlib page -- http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ -- says �zlib 1.1.3 is included
as part of the Mac OS X Public Beta under
/System/Library/Frameworks/Zip.framework;� -- but I'm not sure it's still
there in 10.0.3.
FYI, I've used MacPerl for a few years, but I'm a Unix newbie.
Below is the evidence from the Unix console. If anyone needs more evidence
(e.g., config settings) please let me know.
Thanks for all past & future help.
