Looks like a missing libz link (-lz) to me. Why this pop ups so sudden is a bit
of a mystery to me.

What libpng are you using ?

[Comment 2 Ted Goodridge, Jr 2002-11-19 11:03:34 UTC]

I'm using libpng 1.2.4.  It is the one that built from inside libgnomeprint.

[Comment 3 sa 2002-11-24 23:14:42 UTC]

I have been getting these undefined references to zlib functiosn alot lately too...
to fix this one i edited /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libxml-2.0.pc
and added a -lz like:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lxml2   -lm  -lz

mabey the libxml2 ebuild needs to be patched?

im using gentoo 1.4?? with
/etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0

[Comment 4 Isaac Straley 2002-11-26 11:07:39 UTC]

This is affecting the x86 architecture as well.  Patching libxml-2.0.pc seems to
work, though..

[Comment 5 Ted Goodridge, Jr 2002-11-27 13:00:06 UTC]

So has libxml2 been patched?  If it has I'll try and re-emerge this.

[Comment 6 Ted Goodridge, Jr 2002-11-28 11:26:06 UTC]

A workaround is to set CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -lz".  This compiled fine for me after I
did that.

[Comment 8 Michael Tomkins 2002-12-18 18:05:40 UTC]

Same error on a PPC604/Gentoo1.4

Patching /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libxml-2.0.pc as in comment #3 fixed bug.

[Comment 9 Ted Goodridge, Jr 2003-03-03 12:25:56 UTC]

This is an old bug...it's fixed as I can now build Gnome 2.2 on alpha.  Please mark resolved.

Great.  Sorry I didn't see this earlier (it was assigned to bjb, I should
really look through his bugs).
