I've added the little patch to Makefile.am, recompiled libxml and
sawmill, but nothing happens.
I still get the same error message.

I use a Mandrake (redhat based) distribution. I do not get any
dependencies for libz. I checked an older libxml package from the
Mandrake cd, but there aren't any libz dependencies in this rpm. Maybe
it uses the static libz libraries instead.

I know this is a problem related to libxml, because i recompiled other
packages that use libz. None of them had this problem, they all show in
de dependencies list libz. I think it's strange that only sawmill has
problems, packages like gnumeric or screem do not complain. Or is the
library not loaded on startup.
