[hobbit] snapshot 2008-11-14 zlib version is too old

[Martin Flemming]

... it seems,

that  i'm the only one, who wants to build/install
the newest snaphost on RHEL4 .... ain't i ?

... and if so, does anybody knows which latest snapshot
will build on RHEL4 with zlib-version 1.2.1.2

.. by the way, i see in this moment .. :-)

the latest rpm for rhel4 from Buchan is from the second of april ...

where can i get this snapshot ?


thanks & cheers
