Gentlemen,
The library (/lib/libz.so.6) in FreeBSD 9.1R does seem to have Zlib =
1.2.4 based on the complaints from the following at least:
libarchive.so.*
libssh.so.*
grep
gzip
I've provided objdump -p output from my machine:

required from libc.so.7:
0x077a28b0 0x00 06 FBSD_1.0
fBSD9# uname -r
9.1-RELEASE
----------------------------------------------------------------
If Zlib 1.2.7 were installed independently from tar.gz downloaded from =
zlib.net site, it produces,
/usr/local/lib/libz.so.1.2.7 which is different from /lib/libz.so.6 of =
course.
But this installs a /usr/local/include/zlib.h that is identical to =
/usr/src/lib/libz/zlib.h as well as /usr/include/zlib.h
The complaint mentioned before from dependent objects like libarchive =
that the "/lib/libz.so.6 containing ZLIB_1_2_4 is missing" results if =
one removes /lib/libz.so.6 and replaces with a symlink to the new =
version like:
/lib/libz.so.6 --> /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1.2.7
Given the version definitions from the objdump -p of the original =
/lib/libz.so.6 that was installed as part of a fresh, clean install of =
FreeBSD 9.1R, as provided above, any thoughts on the Zlib version =
actually baked into the release please?
Thanks.
Kris
