Subject: [hobbit] snapshot 2008-11-14 zlib version is too old

Hi !

Have i got something forgotten or not observed ..

With the new snapshot's i can't compile it under Scientific Linux 4 
(RHEL4) ... with an old snapshot from April it works ...

checking for zlib ...
Found ZLIB include files in /usr/include
Found ZLIB libraries in /usr/lib
zlib version 1.2.1.2
Your zlib version is too old, requires version 1.2.3 or later
ZLIB version too old, must be at least version 1.2.x


... i remember a  problem from September


Subject :Latest stable snapshot?


And the last answer was from Henry

In /usr/include/zlib.h add the following to the #include's:

# define ZLIB_VER_MAJOR 1
# define ZLIB_VER_MINOR 2

The ZLIB_VER_MAJOR/MINOR macros apparently are a Linux- or 
Debian-addition.
I've updated the test-zlib.c module to use the standard ZLIB_VERNUM macro
instead. So it should work now with a standard zlib installation.

.. with Scientific Linux 5 (RHEL5) it works ...

.. is it my personal problem ?

cheers,

Well - a "1.2.1.2" version really *is* older than 1.2.3.

According to www.zlib.net "Version 1.2.3 eliminates potential
security vulnerabilities in zlib 1.2.1 and 1.2.2, so all users
of those versions should upgrade immediately."


The reason you didn't see the problem with the April snapshots
was that zlib wasn't used back then.

Different problem, the zlib test in Hobbit back then used
some non-standard ZLIB macros.

thanks & cheers

Hi, Henrik !

... indeed, that is clear  :-)

But unfortunatley on Scientific Linux 4, RHEL4 ..

there is no zlib-version 1.2.3 available ...

only 1.2.2

and this version should be secure

zlib 1.2.3
July 18, 2005

Hmm, have i to patch test-zlib.c to compile hobbit-snapshots
on  Scientific Linux 4/ RHEL4 System for myself, or is there any other chance 
?

Thanks & Cheers,

I just committed a change to the configure scripts that will
allow you to build with an older zlib version, if you run the
configure script with the "--buggy-zlib" option.
