[Sheflug] Debian

[Richard Ibbotson <nospam [at] sheflug.co.uk>]

Dear All

I've finally been able to get hold of a second hard disk for my 
notebook at a cost of £65.  Installed Debian into it today and most 
things work.  Just Irda that refuses to budge.

I've downloaded Komba2 and Quanta 2.0 source code so that I can 
compile these applications and use them.  Since it's Debian the 
packages aren't available on the Debian site.

When I do './configure' to start the compile all the usual stuff 
scrolls down the screen.  Then I get an error message that says ....

" checking for libz ...  configure: error: not found.  Check your 
installation and look into config.log"

What does this mean ?  Have I not installed something that should be 
in there ?  I get the same error message with every application that 
I try to install.  New to Debian 2.2 r3 and so not quite sure what to 
look for.

Thanks


Thanks
