As I post it earlier on the list you can specify this with args to configure: ./configure --prefix=$RUN_SSH --with-ldflags=-L$PATH_ZLIB --with-ssl-dir=$PATH_SSL --with-cflags="-I$PATH_ZLIB_INCLUDE" In fact, I do compile openssh this way. I put all my params and action in a personal makefile that compile all : openssl, zlib & openssh but a simple shell can do almost the same job.

Worse, after "setenv LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/lib" configure is happy, but during make the zlib include file is not found. "setenv CFLAGS -I/usr/local/include" fixes that, but I feel that configure could be that smart too. Regards, Ulrich
