Hello,

I am trying to compile swftools. I am not using debs because they don't
contain the program avi2swf.

I keep getting the error:

ERROR:
You need zlib to compile swftools

I have apt-get installed most all of the zlib files I could locate.

||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============- ========================================
====
ii zlib-bin 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg compression library - sample programs
un zlib1 <none> (no description available)
ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg compression library - runtime
ii zlibc 0.9k-2 Uncompressing C Library

I am unable to locate zlib or zlib1.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Steve

If you want to compile something you need the development packages.

#v+
gregoa@belanna:~$ apt-cache search --names-only zlib.*-dev
zlib1g-dev - compression library - development
#v-

Hi Gregor,

Well, I feel like an idiot. It now works perfectly. I installed everything
but the dev files? Oh well......

Thank you very much,
Steve
