Hi Mark,

On Linux x86-64, Debian:

# make install
cp libz.a /usr/local/lib
cp libz.so.1.2.4.4
cp: missing destination file operand after `libz.so.1.2.4.4'

This is the first time make install failed.

sharedlibdir is empty, so looks like configure went wrong.

Here is a workaround, I don't know what the difference is between libdir 
and sharedlibdir, but I made them equal:
--- orig/configure      2010-04-18 11:50:44.000000000 +0300
+++ new/configure       2010-04-18 11:50:45.000000000 +0300
