#52 package conflicts with zlib!

[Erick Calder]

I've downloaded the id3lib-3.8.3 tarball and built an RPM
package using the included spec file. when I try to
install the package I have a problem:

# rpm -Uvh id3lib-3.8.3-1.i386.rpm
Preparing...
######################################
##### [100%]
file /usr/lib/libz.so.1 from install of id3lib-3.8.3-1 conflicts
with file from package zlib-1.1.3-25.7

so why is the library called libz and not libid3lib?? it
conflicts with zlib, the compression util! see
http://www.gzip.org/zlib/

help! can someone please e-mail me since I don't visit
here very often?
