zlib module missing when --enable-optimizations

[ghost]

I don't know if you guys have this issue. I compiled python 2.7.13 with --enable-optimizations on, then zlib module is gone. Have anyone encountered this too?

Oh, that is strange. I didn't check that in my test for #160 and could be a blocker if we seriously consider using it for all the images. If you can make a reproducible case, you should probably report it to upstream in their issue tracker https://bugs.python.org/.

Right. This is solved finally by finding the libz.so.1 in my /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu folder and make a link sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 /lib/libz.so according to a ubuntu forum thread(I, lost the link to that thread...). It actually worked. I'm working on Ubuntu 14.04, don' know if it's system specific problem. I'll report to python.org anyway. Thanks.

Closing, given that this appears resolved.
