[Haskell-cafe] zlib, missing zlib.h

[Thomas Hartman]

Tried to install

http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/zlib

which is required for

http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal-branches/cabal-1.4

which is required for cabal-install.

Got the following error. apt-get installed zlibc on a stab in the
dark, but same result. advice?
