Well I'm testing this out on another server, it was missing zlib lib, the admin installed it, but I am getting these remaining errors:

/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x18): In function `_start':
../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:98: undefined reference to `main'
mccp.o(.text+0xbd): In function `compressStart':

Anyone have any idea?

This is a compile-time error? You need 2 files installed, the library which the linker uses, which tells it where to find the files at runtime, and the actual files which it uses at runtime.

Oh yes, forgot to mention this was compiling, heh.

Can you be more specific? Is this an error on my end or and error the admin made?

It strictly speaking seems to be a linker error. Are you linking against the file the admin installed?

This seems a little odd:

/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x18): In function `_start':
../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:98: undefined reference to `main'

Your code doesn't have a main?

As for the other errors, my bet is with Nick; you probably aren't actually linking against the installed file. Either that, or the installed file isn't the right file... :)
