errors compiling apache2

[Maskkkk]

I am trying to compile Apache2 from source on my Debian server.

When I run ./configure with the command....

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-so --enable-auth-digest --enable-rewrite --enable-setenvif --enable-mime --enable-deflate --enable-ssl --with-ssl=/usr/local --enable-headers


it gives me this error:

checking whether to enable mod_deflate... configure: error: mod_deflate has been requested but can not be built due to prerequisite failures

What libraries do I need?

post a few lines from above the error that you posted, it most likely tells you exactly what you are missing.

Yeah I'm missing zlib.

apt-get won't get my zlib....

apt-get install zlib1g-dev
