Subject: Re: RubyGems and zlib.so

Yes, both the build and the target machines are Linux.  I'm building on
SuSE 9.3 and the target machine is RTLinuxPro (Arcom hardware).  My SuSE
machine has zlib-devel 1.2.2-5, and I'm not seeing any problems during
./configure or make.  Should I expect to see zlib.so created during the
build?

Thanks,
Shawn
