AW: to devs: please provide binaries for 1.5-beta

I read previous posts from people who couldn't build the 1.5-beta, so I was just reciting ;-)
Having installed zlib1g-dev, I still get the same message.
I think the problem is related to what is described here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=3

Recompiling zlib using -fPIC flag seems to require to modify the zlib Makefile

What you are reporting is not a bug in the configure script,
as you claimed in your first mail.

Based on the error below, I guess you need to either install the
zlib-dev package (this is the easy way), or compile your custom
zlib with -fPIC as indicated in the error message you got.

The kernel version does not matter at all here.

Did you really run
        ./configure

here, or did you pass additional parameters?
