How to repeat:
make dist on one machine, copy to another, try to build

Suggested fix:
include zlib in make dist

Did this work in your setup with versions before 5.1.16?

Could you please specify what version you use of autoconf,
automake and libtool?

Did you create the source TAR using the recommended
sequence below?

  BUILD/compile-dist && make dist

haven't really tried before...

machine doing 'make dist' did a ./BUILD/compile-amd64-max on Ubuntu 6.06

machine doing build from dist tarball is x86 Ubuntu 6.10 and running ./BUILD/compile-pentium-max

As this impact a large part of the build part of the
source, this is done in steps. In 5.1.23 all "base"
parts of the source is included in "make dist", 
independent on how you configure. Still all engines
has to be configured to be included in the source.

No changelog entry needed.
