compress.so not found?!

Hi ho.
Evertime I want to start the eggdrop following message is sent:

Launched into the background (pid: 2810)

I re-compiled it but id didn't work.
Downloading the eggdrop files and compiling it completely new does not work neither. No compress.so will be compiled.

It worked for a few days, but then I received this error.
Does anyone have an idea?

IIRC, you need zlib or something installed to compile compress.mod. I guess Eggdrop didn't find it. Not to worry, though, compress.mod isn't any use unless you have a really large userfile.

Thx, but I even can't connect to the eggdrop over telnet or dcc. At the beginning I didn't receive the error.
Where can I get zlib?

[edit]
I found zlib and installed it, but there is still no compress.so

simply comment out (add a # to the start of the line) the line that loads the module.

As noted, it gives very little benefit to you.

I repeat, compress.mod failing to load will not mess anything up. Eggdrop will still function normally.
