gnome-utils won't compile

[Peter Schram <pschram casema net>]

Hi I cant seem to get gnome-utils to compile. Configure goes ok, but
make gives an error with gfloppy.

gcc  -g  -o gfloppy  main.o gfloppy.o progress.o fdformat.o badblocks.o
-rdynamic -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -rdynamic -lgnomeui

-lgnome -lgnomesupport -lesd -laudiofile -lm -ldb -lglib -ldl  -lxml

/usr/local/lib/libxml.so: undefined reference to `gzopen'
/usr/local/lib/libxml.so: undefined reference to `gzread'

/usr/local/lib/libxml.so: undefined reference to `gzclose'
/usr/local/lib/libxml.so: undefined reference to `gzwrite'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [gfloppy] Error 1

What goes wrong here? I have no idea what to do with this error message.

Best regards,
