Comment 7 for bug 178267

Thanks for the report.
Both issues 1a and 1b are correct but they should be reported in two other different and separated bug reports.

1a) The problem is that the wrong library is linked in arch/common/zlib.h:

libz = g_module_open("/usr/lib/libz.so", G_MODULE_BIND_LAZY);

the right soname is libz.so.1 so, unless you happen to have the development package installed (as myself), you get the error that you report.

1b) We can pass the suggestion upstream.

Can you please open two new bug reports for these?
