Description Brian Zammit 2003-09-06 19:37:14 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a)
Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

Description of problem:
When recompiling postfix from source rpm, the error message "/usr/bin/ld: cannot
find -lz" appears at the end of the failed compile. 

RPM should notify of the dependency on zlib-devel. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
postfix-1.1.12-1.src.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -ivh postfix-x.y.z.src.rpm
2. cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
3. SPECS directory type "rpmbuild -ba --target i686 postfix.spec"
4. Watch the compile fail with error: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz"

Actual Results:  Compile failed. Cryptic compile error message appears.

Expected Results:  RPM should notify of the dependency on zlib-devel.  Compile
successful.
