gnome-libs and libz

[Yochai Shefi-Simchon <joch sgitlv telaviv sgi com>]

hi

i am trying to compile gnome-libs 1.2.0, but configure says the
following:

checking for inflate in -lz... no
checking for compress in -lz... no
configure: error:
*** Incorrect libz version found.  Please make sure you do not have
*** an outdated libz.a or libz.so hiding in your X11 distribution or
*** elsewhere on your system.  Versions of libz with the compress and
*** uncompress symbols are sufficiently recent to build GNOME.

i have libz 1.1.3 installed.

does anyone have an idea as to why is that and how to solve this ?

thanx
    joch
