openssh unix dev - Jul 2002 - Building 3.4p1 on HP-UX 11.00, gcc, zlib 1.1.4, OpenSSL 0.9.6d

Hey folks,

	I am having a devil of a time compiling 3.4p1 on HP-UX
11.00.  I'm running gcc 2.95.2, OpenSSL 0.9.6d, and zlib 1.1.4.
I have two questions, but here's the first...  I am getting the dreaded:

*** zlib missing - please install first or check config.log ***

error when running configure, no matter what options I give it.
--with-zlib doesn't help at all - I've tried it with two different
installations of zlib in two different places, and it's ignored
them both.  I did make sure to clean up the old zlib before I
installed the new, so I don't think it's a problem with the
different versions.  Why is '--with-zlib' ignoring my wishes?

	And yes, I did a 'make clean' and/or 'make distclean'.  :)

ls -l /usr/lib/libz*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root       root         85856 Jul 11 21:07 /usr/lib/libz.a*

	It finds the new OpenSSL installation just fine.  *boggle*

	My second question has to do with compiling OpenSSH statically.
I have set my CFLAGS env variable to be "-static", I have used the
'--enable-static=yes' option to configure, and I have even gone so
far as to modify the Makefile and openbsd-compat/Makefile to include
'-static' in the CFLAGS, but every time it has compiled dynamically.
Don't ask me why it compiled several times and not others - I don't
know the answer to that question...  I have been experimenting with
'make clean' and 'make distclean' to make sure I didn't bork
something
in the source, so I'm not sure what I did differently.  Either way,
even when it did build, it didn't build statically.

	I did search the mailing list archives, as well as googling
for answers, and I haven't found anything yet.  If someone could
take a few minutes to help me, I'd appreciate it very much.  :)

Benny

I realise this might be stating the blindingly obvious, but what did
config.log say?

My guess is you're missing the zlib header files.
$ sudo rm /usr/local/include/zlib.h /usr/local/include/zconf.h
$ ./configure
[snip]
configure: error: *** zlib missing - please install first or check
config.log ***
