Hello everyone

I am trying to compile StarDict on my openSUSE10.3 (KDE desktop) machine
after failing to find a SUSE rpm for it.

When I type the configure command it gives me this error...

checking for zlibVersion in -lz... no
configure: error: zlib not found

But from YAST I can see that I have both zlib & zlib-devel pkges installed!!

So what could be the problem??

I am pasting the whole compile story below

Emon
