Hi Syphilis,

Sorry I was traveling last year and didn't see your reply. I didn't figure out the problem yet. Would you give more detail on your installation? such as, which version and where did you get the libz? Did you install staden-windows prior to staden-io-lib? Thanks a lot.

    I got zlib-1.2.3 source from the zlib Home Site, and built it (also in the MSYS shell) by running:

    ./configure
    make
    make check
    make install

    It should then be straightforward to build and install io_lib-1.11.6.1 as per the instructions in my earlier post.

    Cheers,
    Rob
