openssh unix dev - Oct 2003 - Compile of OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 failing - TRU64 5.1A

All,

I'm getting the following error message when trying to 'make'
OpenSSH
3.7.1p2:

cc: Severe: compress.c, line 19: Cannot find file "zlib.h" specified
in
#include directive. (noinclfilef)
#include "zlib.h"
-^
*** Exit 1
Stop.

What can I do to get this to compile correctly?

Thanks in advance,
Trevor Strickland

That file is part of the zlib package, perhaps it's not installed
correctly.  Try reinstalling it (you can get it from www.zlib.org).  You
may have to specify the path to it to OpenSSH's configure
(--with-zlib=PATH).

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

THANK YOU -

Strangely enough, when I simply added the --with-zlib=PATH, it compiled.  I
didn't have to re-install zlib or place it into a different location.  It
looks as if it just didn't know where to find it.

i have a machine which was pre-installed with Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A
(Rev. 1885); this has a /usr/lib/libz.a but no corrosponding zlib.h
file installed.  not sure if this came in the base system or as an
optional package.

what i did was to leave the system file alone, and in a non-standard
location install zlib.h, zconf.h and libz.a from the zlib-1.1.4 release.
then use --with-zlib=PATH to get the OpenSSH configure script to find it.

Darren,

	I looked and no, I do not have zlib.[a|so] in my library path.
After looking in the /usr/local/include directory, where I believe the
compiler was looking, I have the following files:

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     system      8192 Oct 15 18:51 .
drwxr-xr-x  13 root     system      8192 Feb  3  2003 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root     system      7810 Jan  4  2003 zconf.h
-rw-r--r--   1 root     system     40900 Oct 15 18:49 zlib.h

I hope this was the information that you were looking for.  If it isn't, let
me know.

Thanks again,
Trevor Strickland

Configure searches for the library.  If configure doesn't find it in the
system library patch, the next place it looks is /usr/local/.

You have a zlib.[a|so] in your normal system library path?

Err, make that "libz.[a|so]".
