I am cross compiling - well actually it is from pentium to i386.

I do not know about zlib-devel, which probably means I don't have it.
But the kernel code includes include/linux/zlib.h which is included by 
/fs/jffs2/compr_zlib.c and this compiles OK. So I assumed I had all that was 
needed.

However in the util tree compr_zlib.c is looking for include/zlib.h, and I 
belive a different version.

If I need to get zlib-devel can you give a reference to where I get it from as 
I have seen confusing alternatives.

Thanks
