I am attempting to install version 1.3.2 on a system funning Ubuntu Linux (a debian based distro). Running ./configure --with-<Interface> gives Configure Error: zlib not found. I checked, and synaptic says zlib-bin is installed...WTF? Any ideas?

You also nead the zlib header files. They are usually in another packagage, zlib-devel or so.
For all libraries that are used in the compilation you must make sure that the corresponding header files are installed!

Hi phobophobic,
Have you solved "zlib not found" problem ? If yes please help me ?

This error can be triggered if something else is missing which makes the test for zlib fail. Check config.log for the exact error message of the zlib-test, somewhere near the bottom.

Hi Fridger and Harald,
unfortunately I'm not an expert on programming and compiling. I do not understand the logfile for the most part. Can somebody "translate" to me what the logfile wants to tell me?
I uploaded the file at http://www.hs.uni-hamburg.de/DE/Ins/Per/Liefke/config.log
It would be quite long to paste it here and I am not sure which parts are essential.
Thanks so far,
Carolin

Perfect
Apparently the library libXmu is missing, which belongs to the package XFree86-devel (at least on Suse 9.0). But there may be many more packages missing...

Indeed...in the test compile for the presence of the z-library, the libXmu was found missing. Hence the missing libXmu was misinterpreted by the configure script as a missing z-library...
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.4/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
Probably it's the respective 'devel' package that is actually missing...
So type
cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ls libXmu.*
if libXmu is installed, type
rpm -qf libXmu.*
which tells you the package, in which libXmu.* belongs. Presumably, for SuSE 9.2 this is xorg-x11....If correct, then
you need to install
xorg-x11-devel-6.x.y
Good luck...

Hello Harald and Fridger,
finally I got it!
I read only Harald's post yesterday evening, but I found libXmu in the xorg-x11-devel by myself. After getting similar messages in the next two runs (resolved by installing additional QT libs and some KDE-devel stuff) it worked at last.
This was real learning-by-doing
Now I can enjoy Celestia also from Linux and not only from Windows, splendid!
Thank you both for your help!!!
