Heya,

I'm trying to compile NWNX_Easy on my Debian 5.0.3 (64bits) machine and I'm running into some problems. I'm not used to compiling my own binaries, and I've come to a point where I don't know how to deal with this issue.

When I try to ./configure the package, I get the following:

Code:

Unable to find -lz (zlib). Please install a zlib developer's package.


First thing I did was making sure I had zlib's developer package installed:

Code:
$ sudo aptitude install zlib1g-dev

And...

Code:
$ whereis zlib
zlib: /usr/include/zlib.h /usr/share/man/man3/zlib.3.gz


So, apparently the lib is there, isn't it? Then... why can't I compile NWNX_Easy? :<

I actually tried with NWNX_Easy after I run into the exact same problem when trying to compile NWNX from the SVN. Halp, plox?

Thank you!

Edit: Searching, and searching, I also found this:

Code:
$ dpkg -l zlib* | awk '{print $2}' | grep ^z | xargs dpkg -L | grep libz
Package `zlib1' is not installed.
Package `zlib1-dev' is not installed.
/usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3.3
/usr/lib/libz.so.1
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib32/libz.so.1.2.3.3
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3.3
/usr/lib/libz.a
/usr/lib/libz.so
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

The nwnx_easy bundle is actually woefully outdated and I don't plan to update it any time soon - time would be better spent improving the documentation and compile procedure of the main package. I think the problem is that you're using a 64-bit version of Debian - NWNX only works in a 32-bit environment so you're going to have to either set up a chroot or install a 32-bit kernel, headers, etc.
