Re: [ft-devel] Freetype2 - Install issues under Linux SUSE SLES 11 SP1

[falbriard]

Hi Toshiya, 

 Thanks was a great hint. The freetype2 .tar.gz distribution worked fine and
no errors anymore at the configure. All worked perfectly. I succeeded to run
the three steps, apparently with no error messages, the:  "./configure"; the
"make" and the "make install". 

Not sure, if this is the right forum for it, but I decided to install the
freetype2 package, because its
a per-requisite for the Python matplotlib. The next command is the build of
matplolib which happens 
with the command:  

python setup.py build  

This command now walked one step further, now able to link the freetype2
libraries, but still 
throws an error at the g++ linker, which tells: 

cannot find -lz

g++ -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-s390x-2.6/src/ft2font.o
build/temp.linux-s390x-2.6/src/mplutils.o

/usr/lib64/gcc/s390x-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../s390x-suse-linux/bin/ld:
cannot find -lz

Any idea what dependency is this? 

Regards,
Claude
