EQEmu compile fail - inflateInit2_, defalteInit_

Greetings,
I'm trying to set up EQEmu on my linux server. It's an already exisiting webserver running the following:
CENTOS 6.3 x86_64
Cpanel 11

I've been following the various Linux guides, and adjustments for x64. I'm currently in the process of compiling the code, but it generates the following error:

Code:

./common/packet_functions.o: In function `InflatePacket(unsigned char const*, unsigned int, unsigned char*, unsigned int, bool)':

/home/eqemu/source/EQEmuServer/world/../common/packet_functions.cpp:245: undefined reference to `inflateInit2_'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

any suggestions?

You are missing zlib-devel.

thought that might have been it too... but according to cpanel and trying to update it manually though yum...

Package zlib-devel-1.2.3-27.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version

also have unzip zip zlib and zlib-static

tried to update them all and all appear up to date :-/
maybe its referencing the wrong location for zlib-devel?

There generally aren't locations for files that you need to manage in Linux. either the system library is installed or it isn't.

You can try running ldconfig -v as root and see if zlib is listed. You should also verify that -lz is on the linker line in the makefile. It's there in the default makefile, but if you modified anything perhaps it went missing.

was was comparing the world makefile to the zone makefile and came across that it was missing -lm -lz from the LINKOPTS line. here they are below:

world makefile

Code:

COPTS=$(WFLAGS) -g -O -pthread -pipe -I../common/SocketLib \

  -DFX -D_GNU_SOURCE -DINVERSEXY -DWORLD $(DFLAGS) $(MYSQL_FLAGS) $(PERL_FLAGS)

LINKOPTS=$(COPTS) -rdynamic -L. -lstdc++ -lm -lz -ldl \

  $(MYSQL_LIB) $(PERL_LIB)

zone makefile

Code:

COPTS=$(WFLAGS) -O -g -pthread -pipe -D_GNU_SOURCE -DINVERSEXY -DFX -DZONE $(DFLAGS) $(MYSQL_FLAGS) $(PERL_FLAGS)

LINKOPTS=$(COPTS) -rdynamic -L. -lstdc++ -ldl $(MYSQL_LIB) $(PERL_LIB)

So it looks like that portion compiled correctly...the fix by adding "-lm -lz" before "-ldl" in the zone makefile.

Now I got

Code:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/eqemu/source/EQEmuServer/queryserv'

make -C utils

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/eqemu/source/EQEmuServer/utils'

g++ cleanipc.cpp -o cleanipc

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/eqemu/source/EQEmuServer/utils'

at the end of the compilation.
are these errors?

Hmm, the default makefile from SVN is missing -lz for zone as well, so it isn't something you accidentally tweaked. I had only checked the world makefile since it looked like that might be where you were having the issue.

I don't regularly compile on Linux, so I'm not sure if everyone has the issues, or if zlib gets picked up by some other library on a different distribution.

The stuff at the end isn't errors. You should have executables in the output directory.

yeah I hadn't tweaked that part of the lines.. had only removed the -march flag to compile on x64.
Good to know it wasn't my fault tho ;)
Submitted a thread to the Bug Report forum.

very much thanks for the help lerxst2112
