I get the following error when I try to do make:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2215/mysql' rm -f ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib/mysql:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackwar e-linux/2.95.3" cc -shared -L/usr/local/lib dbdimp.o mysql.o -L/usr/lib/mysql -o ../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lm -lz -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/2.95.3 -lgcc /usr/i386-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lz collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [../blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2215/mysql' make: *** [subdirs] Error 2

I cannot find any file on my system called "lz", and I'm not really sure what the purpose of the command "ld" is, but when I try to run "ld -lz" straight from the command prompt I get "cannot find -lz" just like above.

I've searched for this error on the mysql.com site and haven't found anything referencing it. I assume there is something I have to install that I don't have, but I don't know what it is. Can someone tell me?
