I have just tried to compile Texmacs today and had the same problem with the linker and "deflate".

Using the export command before the configure script did make the things work, that is, everything seems to compile fine.

Thank you for sharing your solution.

Doesn't it mean there is a problem with the configure/makefile ?

Best,

Alexandre.

Execute

$ export LDFLAGS=-lz

before you run the configure script.

THanks,
