[mapserver-users] Cannot find -lzlib during build with ogr support

[Tyler Mitchell]

So close and yet so far.
Well, I got basic functionality working with mapserver, thanks for the
excellent product.
I'm still cutting my teeth on building applications, so can you help me
with the error I'm getting?
I've installed gdal and ogr and ran when I build mapserver using:
>./configure --with-ogr
>make
The output tells me the following, then bails, without creating the
executable:
-----
gcc -O2  -Wall -DIGNORE_MISSING_DATA   -DUSE_PROJ -DUSE_TTF -DUSE_TIFF
-DUSE_JPEG -DUSE_GD_1_2  -DUSE_OGR  -I/home/download/gis/mapserver/gd-1.2
-I/home/download/gis/mapserver/gdft -I/usr/local/include/freetype
shp2img.o  -L. -lmap -L/home/download/gis/mapserver/gd-1.2 -lgd
-L/home/download/gis/mapserver/gdft -lgdft -lttf -ltiff -lproj -ljpeg
-lgdal.1.1 -ljpeg -lpng -ldl -logdi -lzlib  -lm -o shp2img
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lzlib
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [shp2img] Error 1
