RE: [xml] libxml2 compile error on Solaris SPARC

["Labib Iskander, Marcus" <ml cm4all com>]

Sorry, just IGNORE my previous post!

But you should really try to 
./configure --with-zlib=....
or
./configure --without-zlib

the error should at least be different than that one you posted. Since the
makefile.am says:

LDADDS = $(top_builddir)/libxml2.la @THREAD_LIBS@ @Z_LIBS@ $(ICONV_LIBS) -lm
...
xmllint_LDADD=  @RDL_LIBS@ $(LDADDS)

and following configure.in @Z_LIBS@ will be replaced by a nonzero string if
the directory given is correct at least otherwise zlib will not be
referenced at all. (you should try a 'make clean' before retrying without
zlib)
AC_ARG_WITH(zlib,
[  --with-zlib[=DIR]       use libz in DIR],[
  if test "$withval" != "no" -a "$withval" != "yes"; then
    Z_DIR=$withval
    CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS} -I$withval/include"
    LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -L$withval/lib"
  fi
])
if test "$with_zlib" = "no"; then
    echo "Disabling compression support"
else
    AC_CHECK_HEADERS(zlib.h,
        AC_CHECK_LIB(z, gzread,[
            AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBZ)
            if test "x${Z_DIR}" != "x"; then
                Z_CFLAGS="-I${Z_DIR}/include"
                Z_LIBS="-L${Z_DIR}/lib -lz"
                [case ${host} in
                    *-*-solaris*)
                        Z_LIBS="-L${Z_DIR}/lib -R${Z_DIR}/lib -lz"
                        ;;
                esac]
            else
                Z_LIBS="-lz"
            fi]))
fi
...
AC_SUBST(Z_LIBS)
