The first place to start when you want to know where to find something like
xxx.so.something
is http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/
This will lead you to zlib-1.1.3-2.ppc.rpm
On my system, the command:
rpm -q --whatprovides libz.so.1
returns:
zlib-1.1.3-6
I don't know what would happen if I did not have zlib-1.1.3-6 installed.
if the command
rpm -q zlib
returns:
package zlib is not installed
you can install it from the cd:
rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/YellowDog/RPMS/zlib-1.1.3-6.ppc.rpm
