After that i am trying to build the test code provided.
While compiling it I am getting below undefined reference to `gzopen' error.

Please suggest me what i am doing wrong.

You need zlib. Try the following - you may have to check these install target names as these are from memory....

For RHEL/Centos

yum install zlib-devel libz.so.1 

For ubuntu/dev

apt-get install zlibc zlib1g zlib1g-dev

/dakka

Also make sure libz.so.1 is on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
