Compiling Nginx prompts gzip module requires the zlib library Solution

When a newbie tries to install nginx, it is often unable to install the corresponding nginx module due to the lack of dependent components. Errors often occur when "./configure" is executed.

If '-- with-http_gzip_static_module' (add gzip compression module) is added after './configure', the following error is prompted:

. /Configure: error: the HTTP gzip module requires the zlib library. you can either disable the module by using-without-http_gzip_moduleoption, or install the zlib library into the system, or build the zlib librarystatically from the source with nginx by using-with-zlib = <path> option.

Install "zlib-devel. Run the following command on SSH:

Yum install-y zlib-devel
