I have SuSe 9.0 and the default 2.4 kernel (as well as the default KDE 3.1.# ) Anyhow I was trying to compile the new kopete 0.8 from source but I get this error message when running the configure script: ----------------------------- checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes checking for libXext... yes checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes checking for extra includes... no checking for extra libs... no checking for libz... configure: error: not found. Possibly configure picks up an outdated version installed by XFree86. Remove it from your system. Check your installation and look into config.log ------------------------------ Anyone has any idea why this is happening and how can I selve this problem? Thanks I've looked everywhere but haven't found anything :( Cheers, Mike
