Postfix compile error with SuSE

[Markus Bender]

Hi NG,

i've got the following problem:

I try to set up a mail server with sasl2 and cyrus imap. User auth is
against a mysql db. The postfix rpm shipped with SuSE 8.1 is not
compiled to support mysql so I tried to install from source (latest
snapshot). Now I got the following error and does not know which
package to install. Please help

Error:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.2/../../../../i-486-suse-linux/bin/ld
cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make:*** [master] Error 1
make:*** [update] Error 1

BTW: I made a symbolic link "ln -s /usr/bin
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/bin"
but the problem remains.

Any ideas?

You need both zlib.rpm and zlib-devel.rpm

What for? The error message came from the linker (ld)

HTH, Jo
