Hello group,

building with options

 --with-zlib=shared,/usr \
 --with-gd=shared \

fails

configure:30085: gcc -o
conftest -g -O2   -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/libxml/lib -L/usr/local/libxml/lib -
lz conftest.c -lpng  -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl  -lxml2 -lm -lxml2 -lm 1>&5
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3/../../../libpng.a(pngwrite.o): In
function `png_write_flush':
pngwrite.o(.text+0x115c): undefined reference to `deflate'

while

 --with-zlib=/usr \
 --with-gd=shared \

suceeds.

Gr,

JOhn

The build doesn't fail, only configure. Big difference..
    Use --with-zlib-dir.
