Comment(by richard):
Ok, well, it certainly sounds like a problem with the zlib library on
CentOS 4.7.
The zlib website says: "Version 1.2.3 eliminates potential security
vulnerabilities in zlib 1.2.1 and 1.2.2, so all users of those versions
should upgrade immediately." I assume that the 1.2.1.2-1.2 package you
have has some security fixes backported to it by CentOS - it's possible
that there's a bug fix in 1.2.3 which hasn't been backported, or that they
did the backport incorrectly.
To try and work this out, I've just been browsing around, but I can't find
a way to download a copy of the source for the zlib 1.2.1.2-1.2 package
from centos. I'd like to try a compile using that version on my system,
to see if it fails in a similar way to that which you're seeing. If so,
we'll have to tell configure that that version of zlib isn't suitable for
use with Xapian.
Can you try running the Xapian test suite on the centos 4.7 box? Just run
"make check" in the xapian-core directory. Let us know if there are any
failures (and if so, what they say).
