Ok, so I like to think my self half-way intelligent.  I've been using
Linux about five years now, I hand-compile my distribution following
the linuxfromscratch website, and I'm generally keen on most things.

But I have two versions of zlib.  Apparently, there is one included in
in the development files for X.

Note that /usr/local/include/zlib.h is a symlink to
/usr/local/src/zlib/include/zlib.h
---------------------------------
~--$locate zlib.h
/usr/include/bzlib.h
/usr/local/include/zlib.h
/usr/local/src/zlib-1.1.4/include/zlib.h
/usr/src/linux-2.4.18/arch/ppc/boot/include/zlib.h
/usr/src/linux-2.4.18/drivers/net/zlib.h
/usr/src/linux-2.4.18/fs/jffs2/zlib.h
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/lbxzlib.h
/usr/X11R6/include/zlib.h
~--$locate zconf.h
/usr/local/include/zconf.h
/usr/local/src/zlib-1.1.4/include/zconf.h
/usr/src/linux-2.4.18/fs/inflate_fs/zconf.h
/usr/X11R6/include/zconf.h
~--$gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
~--$

---------------------------------

So, now I feel the idiot.  Hehe.  It's good for me.
The X version of zlib only has the static version of the zlib library.

gcc is v 2.95.3, known stable (last I heard).

tuxnes compiles.  Your help is very much appreciated, Mike.
