openssh unix dev - Jun 2001 - OpenSSH 2.9p2 configure doesn't find libz in /usr/local/lib

Running configure on OpenSSH 2.9p2 doesn't find libz.XX if it is
located in /usr/local/lib.

Thanks,

Eric

That's highly compiler-dependent.  GCC will find libraries in
/usr/local/lib and include files in /usr/local/include by default.  Many
vendor compilers won't.  If you are using some vendor-supplied compiler,
add the appropriate flags to tell it to search /usr/local/include and
/usr/local/lib.  For example, in Digital UNIX I use

CC="cc -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib" ... ./configure ...

when configuring OpenSSH.

D'oh!

I had a bad value for LDFLAGS that was already defined in the environment.

Nothing to see here.. Move along..

Thanks,

Eric
