Ubuntu 11.10 - zlib tip
 

Hello,
Just wanted to post a fix in ubuntu 11.10. If you receive a compile error in the packet_function portion of the compile make sure you have zlib installed. (Which i did in my case)

Also in the eqlaunch/make file:
LINKOPTS=$(COPTS) -rdynamic -L. -lstdc++ -ldl $(MYSQL_LIB)

Change to:
LINKOPTS=$(COPTS) -rdynamic -L. -lstdc++ -lz -ldl $(MYSQL_LIB)

Hope this helps.
