error: zlib library and headers are required R on HPC












2















System:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)



I’ve installed zlib 1.2.11 on the home folder of a Red Hat HPC as part of the process for installing R base 3.4.0.



I get this error even after successful install of zlib



checking for inflateInit2_ in -lz... no
checking whether zlib support suffices... configure: error: zlib library and headers are required


I’ve checked R documentation and configure file for the issue of R requiring versions newer than 1.2.6 but not lexicographically recognizing 1.2.11 as >1.2.6, and that particular bug was patched in R 3.4.



I've reviewed this question posted previously and the response is not relevant due to R 3.4 resolving that issue.



Any suggestion and/or input would be much appreciated.
