Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [ethereal-users] problem while make'ing: "wiretap/file.c:93: undefined reference to `gzseek'"

You must compile and install Zlib. I had an ancient version of Zlib in
my system which didn't  work. I'm not sure what module needs it, but
one of the autoconf routines should warn about the needed presence of
Zlib.

You can get Zlib at:
