Thank you Yuan

You are right I didn't install the sourcecode, the instructions make a 
lot more sense now :)
one other small question,  pkg_info | grep zlib
gave me the following output;

jzlib-1.0.5_1       A re-implementation of zlib in pure Java
php4-zlib-4.3.10_2  The zlib shared extension for php


so no zlib? Why is that ? because I didn't install it with pkg_add?
