Hi,
I tried to install Archive-Zip module on my unix machine, I am able to do Perl makefile.pl, make and when I do make test, it gave me following error.
# Error: Can't find 'boot_Compress__Raw__Zlib' symbol in Perl_Modules/lib/site_perl/5.8.4/sun4-solaris-64int/auto/Compress/Raw/Zlib/Zlib.so
Please help me!

      zlib itself is probably installed on your system, what you probably need is the development pagackage for zlib. Depending on your system it will be something like zlib-dev, zlib-devel, etc.

        Where can I get the package? I am tring to install NET FTP server and I have lot of dependent modules. I need some infromation. Does a module work properly even if it fails all the tests ( make test)? I am asking this because even pass % is 0 it is able to install module.
