I am just now getting around to upgrading from 3.1.2 to 3.2.0 and am getting hammered by a problem which is beyond my limited capabilities of handling.

I executed

  ./configure --with-tcltk --with cairo

which seemed to go just fine, and then did:

   make

In fairly short order I started getting  error messages like unto:

connections.o: In function `gzcon_write':
/home/rolf/Desktop/Rinst/R-3.2.0/src/main/connections.c:5469: undefined 
reference to `deflate'

There were also complaints about undefined references to inflate, crc32, deflateEnd, inflateEnd, inflateReset, inflateInit2_, deflateInit2_, compress, uncompress, and zlibVersion, many of which were issued repeatedly. It finally gave up, saying:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

A bit of googling informed me (I think?) that a workaround was to configure using --without-system-pcre. This however achieved nothing in my case.

Can anyone point me at what I need to do to fix this? Install or update something?

I am running an (elderly, no-longer-supported) Fedora 17 Linux.

Thanks for any assistance.

cheers,

Rolf Turner
