Matt and Steve,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I found libz.a and performed the config
and it worked great!
Thanks aplenty!

The zlib packages on sunfreeware.com install the libz.a and libz.so*
libraries in /usr/local/lib. The files zlib.h and zconf.h are in
/usr/local/include.
I will see what I can do about putting the latest gd and mrtg packages
on sunfreeware.com. gd is there, but needs to be updated. I am
open to suggestions on what configure flags are the best or most
desired for a Solaris system.
