Why zlib not included in Python tarball?

Milos Prudek

I need to install my own Python. I compiled Python 2.4.4 from sources. zlib
did not compile - it's not in the lib-dynload directory.

I did not have this problem with any of my earlier Python compiles. I
routinely compile Python from source.

What is the correct procedure for installing zlib from source into Python?

Depends on the operating system and the Python version. On Unix, you
need to install zlib first; if you install a precompiled zlib package,
make sure you install the header files as well.

You were right. Thank you.
