mysql install

Hi,

I'm running Redhat 8.0
and I'm installing apache, php, mysql, postgres, openssl etc.

my first step is to install mysql.
I want it to be perl enabled, which means I have downloaded,
(this is in compliance with the INSTALL BINARY doc that comes with mysql),
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Perl_installation.html,

Data-Dumper-2.101
DBI-1.18
Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2218

Data-Dumper and DBI installed OK,
then I start mysql and
try to install Msql-Mysql-modules.

However I get an error when doing a make, the error is

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

thanks in advance

christmas cheers,

Sigh ... is anyone actually reading the docs? Quoting

a file that comes with the distribution as README:

Red Hat Linux 7.1 (you may prefer gnorpm)

rpm -i mysql mysql-devel mysql-server
rpm -i perl-DBI
