FC12, /usr/bin/ld: can not find -lz

[wmliu]

Hi,
Just wonder if anybody has had such problem that ld complains about can not find -lz when building the latest elegant? I do have zlib and zlib-devel installed and I can build the previous version without any problem.

Thanks

It turns out that it was looking for the static library. It get resolved by changing the STATIC_BUILD from YES to NO in CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86.linux-x86.

To build a static linked version, you can install it with the command
yum install zlib-static.i686
The libz.a should be available under /usr/lib after installation.
