Problems after Dports Update with libz.1.2.1.dylib

[lorenz.jens@…]

Hi!

Since yesterday I noticed that after the last update I did (and some port upgrades afterwards) I got errors trying to use ntop, ethereal and nessus (that's the ones I noticed) with the error that libz.1.2.1.dylib wasn't found. I checked and in the /opt/local/lib directory there the version libz.1.2.2.dylib now.

I'm not sure if one can add the libz.1.2.1.dylib file manually (nor do I know where to get it from).

There was a problem with the install_name of libz.1.2.1.dylib. I've corrected this in libz 1.2.2, and the patch has been accepted by the zlib maintainers as well.

However, due to the incorrect install_name of the old library, you will have to rebuild all of your libz clients. :(

You could also simply symlink libz.1.2.1.dylib to point to libz.1.dylib:

ln -s libz.1.dylib /opt/local/lib/libz.1.2.1.dylib
