Hi Rosanne,

You are changing the subject in order to close this Enhancement Request as
INVALID.  This request should not be closed until the NONSENSICAL errors output
to the user from ./configure are corrected.

The config.log is how I found the ACTUAL problem.  The errors I am speaking of
on this Enhancement Request are the WEIRD, NONSENSICAL errors you get from the
./configured report:

           configure: WARNING: libxslt 32-bit development files not
           found, xslt won't be supported.
and

           configure: WARNING: libpng 32-bit development files not found,
           PNG won't be supported.

Which have nothing to do with libz missing, hence the remark that these errors
are NONSENSICAL.

The purpose of this enhancement it to restore some sanity to the errors that
come out on the ./configure report.

One should not have to open config.log to figure out a bunch Microsoft style
NONSENSICAL errors to do a "./configure; make; make install".  These are common
command used by UNIX/Linux users from years and years.  It is not expected that
they should have intimate knowledge of the process to figure out when the
program says "salt", it actually means "pepper".

And the purpose of the config.log is to assist the developers in restoring some
SANITY into the error messages about libz missing.  Not for you to close the
request as INVALID.
