Where can I get zlib for Suse 11.1 ?

Hi everybody,

I have been trying to install the development package zlib-devel on our Suse 11.1 systems for
some time.

Sadly the links to the rpms are down on the software server (software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 12.1)

I need
zlib-devel-static-1.2.3-152.3.x86_64.rpm

zlib, but not zlib-devel is available through zypper.

Thanks for any help,
Colin

since there is no such thing as “Suse 11.1” i wonder if you ask about
SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP1, or openSUSE 11.1…

if the former you need to be over at http://forums.suse.com/, if the
latter then you need to know that openSUSE 11.1 went past its end of
life over one year ago, on January 14th 2011, and has had no security
patches since…

you should soon move up to currently supported 11.4 or 12.1 or join
Evergreen which is extending the life of that version, hop to here:

mail list for support (there is no 11.1 forum here)

Thanks for your help, I’ll try on the SLES forums.

Unfortunately upgrades are difficult on these systems since they drive a storage system
which requires a custom kernel.
