[Buildroot] tried to add ethtool now get config error - Working zlib library and headers not found

[lemonoje]

Hello,

After successfully building and using my BR rootfs on my target Arria 10 SoC
kit, I am trying to simply rebuild with enabling of the ethtool utility.  I
get the following error trying to rebuild now, whether I have ethtool
enabled or not, so that is very confusing as nothing else should have
changed.  Any ideas on the cause?  It compiles everything else fine up to
this point.

Do a full rebuild: "make clean all". If you can reproduce the problem,
then post your complete Buildroot .config file.

Also, make sure you read
https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#full-rebuild.

Best regards,

Thomas

Okay I had done a fresh clone and checkout, but then I coped in my .config
file to pickup everything I had in before, and there were issues with that
build.  Something must have gone wrong there, or my sequence of operations
produced the issue... In any case it is building properly now.  Thank you  

John
