[Gmsh] Red Hat: No libz.so.1

[Philipp Germann]

Hello,

I want to run gmsh on our Red Hat desktop, but I get:

[germannp at bs-dw02 ~]$ ./gmsh-2.6.1-Linux/bin/gmsh
./gmsh-2.6.1-Linux/bin/gmsh: error while loading shared libraries:
libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I did not find any package containing such a file using yum, but it
looks like there is a compression library and a somewhat graphical
package, called zlib and zlibrary [1]. Installing them did not help.
Since fltk showed up in some google hits I installed this package as
well -- but the error prevails ...

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,
Philipp Germann
