Hi,

You were obviously right : zlib1g-dev wasn't installed.
But my point is this library is not used : so why to keep it ?

Best regards

More recent kernels have removed the zlib.h include (upstream patch
28ff4ef7 [1]), but the patch wasn't included it in the older
-stable/-longterm kernels (obviously ;).

Anyway, you could also install the zlib headers (I think zlib1g-dev in
Debian) to make lguest launcher code compile.
