funny error during cpan install of dbd::mysql - help please

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I am on suse 9.0, perl 5.8

using cpan perl module (perl -MCPAN -e shell)
and install DBD::mysql I obtained the following error:

"/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i5860suse-linux/3.3.1/../../../bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exist status

An error occurred while linking the DBD::mysql driver. The error message seems to indicate that you dont have a libz.a or a libza.so"

Can anybody suggest a possible fix?

Thanks in advance!!

Most probably you need to install an RPM like libz-devel or whatever it's
named on SuSE.
