<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Hi Bob,<BR><BR>This is actually a bug in Lazarus, in that it can't
find zlib1.dll. I don't remember the exact steps, but you can try to:<BR>1) copy
zlib1.dll as zlib.dll. <BR>2) copy both zlib1 and zlib2 to a folder where
the ide can find them. for example c:\windows.<BR><BR>This should fix
it.<BR></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've moved the files to the Windows,
Windows/System32, c:/lasarus, and c:/lib (which is listed in the libraries path
in Lazarus) folders and I'm still getting the same error.</FONT></DIV>
