[bwm-tools-tech] Problem running configure

[Keith S. <ke...@ac...>]

Hi,
I'm working on getting bwm-tools configured on Centos 5.2.

The configure script says:
*** Could not run libxml test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log

config.log says:
configure:23594: gcc -o conftest -g -02  -I/usr/include/libxml2 
conftest.c -lxml2 -lz -lm >&5
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libz.so when searching for -lz
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incmopatible /usr/lib/libz.a when searching for -lz
/usr/bin/lid: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

running:

What am I missing?
