snapshot 2008-11-14 zlib version is too old
Hi !
Have i got something forgotten or not observed ..
With the new snapshot's i can't compile it under Scientific Linux 4 (RHEL4) ... with an old snapshot from April it works ...
checking for zlib ... Found ZLIB include files in /usr/include Found ZLIB libraries in /usr/lib zlib version 1.2.1.2 Your zlib version is too old, requires version 1.2.3 or later ZLIB version too old, must be at least version 1.2.x
... i remember a problem from September
Subject :Latest stable snapshot?
And the last answer was from Henry
In /usr/include/zlib.h add the following to the #include's:
define ZLIB_VER_MAJOR 1
define ZLIB_VER_MINOR 2

The ZLIB_VER_MAJOR/MINOR macros apparently are a Linux- or Debian-addition. I've updated the test-zlib.c module to use the standard ZLIB_VERNUM macro instead. So it should work now with a standard zlib installation.
.. with Scientific Linux 5 (RHEL5) it works ...
.. is it my personal problem ?
cheers,

cheers,
From the beginning ther were no tests on versionnumbers on zlib, only existance. Then for some time, in september, somebody introduced some testing on ZLIB_VER_MAJOR/MINOR which aren't standard in zlib.h Now ZLIB_VERNUM (mentioned above) tests on 1.2.3 in test_zlib.c
I don't know which version really is needed.
Regards Lars

Well - a "1.2.1.2" version really *is* older than 1.2.3.
According to www.zlib.net "Version 1.2.3 eliminates potential security vulnerabilities in zlib 1.2.1 and 1.2.2, so all users of those versions should upgrade immediately."
The reason you didn't see the problem with the April snapshots was that zlib wasn't used back then.

Different problem, the zlib test in Hobbit back then used some non-standard ZLIB macros.

Hi, Henrik !
Well - a "1.2.1.2" version really *is* older than 1.2.3.
... indeed, that is clear :-)
But unfortunatley on Scientific Linux 4, RHEL4 ..
there is no zlib-version 1.2.3 available ...
only 1.2.2
and this version should be secure

http://www.zlib.net/ zlib 1.2.3 July 18, 2005
Hmm, have i to patch test-zlib.c to compile hobbit-snapshots on Scientific Linux 4/ RHEL4 System for myself, or is there any other chance ?
Thanks & Cheers,

... it seems,
that i'm the only one, who wants to build/install the newest snaphost on RHEL4 .... ain't i ?
... and if so, does anybody knows which latest snapshot will build on RHEL4 with zlib-version 1.2.1.2
.. by the way, i see in this moment .. :-)
the latest rpm for rhel4 from Buchan is from the second of april ...
http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel4/hobbit/i386/
where can i get this snapshot ?
thanks & cheers
