I am trying to install Emacs Version 28.1 onto my Ubuntu GNU/Linux machine.
I have run the program ./configure with the following arguments with no errors.
www@www-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/usr/share/emacs/emacs-28.1$ ./configure --with-x-toolkit=no --with-xpm=ifavailable --with-jpeg=ifavailable --with-png=ifavailable --with-gif=ifavailable --with-tiff=ifavailable --with-gnutls=ifavailable
When I run "make" the command ld returns the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
What am I doing wrong? The print out of the command "make" is shown
below:
