Subject: Re: Problem installing gem

Well, I finally solved it.

After a month of limping along on an auxilliary server, of installing 
every version of zlib known to man, and of a lot of swearing, I finally 
figued it out!

The problem was that the installation HARDCODED the RELATIVE address of 
zlib in relation to the source code during "configure".  I had moved the 
source directory, considering it to be temporary.

Wow.  A hardcoded relative address.  Relative to source code. Is that 
good practise?

Once I figured it, a reconfigure and rebuild from the new source 
location sorted everything...  Just mentioning it, cuase it might catch 
someone else out, too.  Anyway, I'm happy now, everything is working as 
it should.  Phew!
