Hi Yugi
Thank you for helping.
From a Code-aster forum I also read something about zlib. The I did:
> apt-cache search zlib | grep -i zlib
and I got a plethora of options. Anyway I think I would need these ones:
> sudo apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dbg zlib1g-dev
Only zlib1g-dbg was not installed. Yet no luck.
I inspectioned config.log file (there is no configure.log). Did not find some clue about a missing package, but a list of errors. Some have to do with how some gcc compiler options were set, but that goes far beyond my knowlegde.
> grep error config.log
