I didn't explain myself well, the program itself works but if you compile
with the line 'gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lz' Solaris ld.so (best
described as strange) can't find the zlib library at run-time. Hence my
suggestion to defer the test for zlib until later, or perhaps you can have
it in the same place but instead NLIB and at the end of configure then
update LIB.

Opps, attached now.

Oh you may also want to test for strtoul and if not found test for strtol
and if that is found '#define strtoul(a,b,c) (unsigned long)
strtol(a,b,c))'

I'm new to autoconf too ... I've only just started reading the info docs.

Anand.
