My Linux is Debian 7.1

I first tried compiling Mixmaster after having installed the above
packages using the apt-get install method.

When compilation failed I then followed Mixmaster documentation
suggestions and inserted the source code files for those 4 programs
under the mixmaster /Src/

I realize now one of my mistakes. Assuming all the 4 packages above are
installed correctly, I should have been choosing "no" instead of "yes"
here:

-----
Looking for libz.a...
Found at /usr/local/lib/libz.so.
Found source directory zlib-1.2.8.
Use the source if the pre-installed library causes compilation problems.
Use source? [n]
------

Regardless, compile errors continue. It seems to have found libz.a. But
now it can't find some other file...

I may try again with the unofficial version you suggested. Thanks.
