> How do I get zlib available to python? Edit Modules/Setup, and uncomment the zlib line. At your choice, also uncomment the *shared* line (otherwise, zlib would become a builtin module).
When you install shared libraries somewhere that also live in /usr/lib, do use ldd to verify that it always picks up the libraries you want. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
