I noticed that AIX now comes with a version of zlib installed in /usr. (I'm working on 5.2) My first inclination was to simply uninstall it and use the one we compile (and put in /usr/local). However, IBM has made zlib part of the RPM package itself! So, I cannot uninstall it without removing RPM.... Next, I tried passing --with-zlib=/usr/local to configure for ssh. This seems to work, but after compilation an ldd on ssh reveals that it is still trying to use the one in /usr/lib. I then modified the Makefile so that blibpath has /usr/local/lib in it before /usr/lib, and this works as expected. Should configure be doing that for me on AIX?

Nothing wrong per se.....just that when I told it --with-zlib=/usr/local I
expected it to actually use that one...

What's wrong with using the system default, if one is already there?

I did have a situation this morning. We have an in house application that was linked to the zlib in /usr/local. A user who uses that application had to have their LIBPATH=/usr/local/lib. When they tried to run sftp it failed because the zlib in /usr/local was not the same as what ssh was linked against.

Please try the attached patch (you will need to run "autoconf" to rebuild configure). -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience.
