Hi everyone

I'm trying to install the above module.
I get the message that 

An error occurred while linking the DBD::mysql driver. The error
message seems to indicate that you don't have a libz.a,
or a libz.so. This is typically resolved by:

1.) You may try to remove the -lz or -lgz flag from the libs list
    by using the --libs switch for "perl Makefile.PL".
2.) On Red Hat Linux install libz-devel
3.) On other systems, please contact the mailing list

Hence i'm mailing the list to see if anyone has had this problem before.

It is a Debian linux box

Many thanks in advance
John
