I'm having a problem making the mysql module for ser. When I type make modules everything compiles fine except for the mysql.so, it returns an error saying:

" /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"

If I remove the -lz it makes but can't be loaded correctly by ser. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Below is the makefile I'm using:

# $Id: Makefile,v 1.22 2003/09/16 18:55:07 janakj Exp $
#
# WARNING: do not run this directly, it should be run by the master Makefile

# libmysqlclient locations on RH/Suse, Solaris /OpenBSD, FreeBSD

                -L$(LOCALBASE)/mysql/lib \
                -lmysqlclient -lz

include ../../Makefile.modules

Thanks for any help,
