Try doing the following. I think it's the one you need.

Code:

sudo aptitude install zlib1g-dev

sudo scons install

I got this:

Code:

$ sudo scons install
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
platform:  posix
Checking for C library SDL... yes
Checking for C library z... no
Did not find libz or z.lib, exiting!

What the heck is library z? lol

forgot a dependency, thanks. libz-dev is required. fixed in the howto

You guys are awesome, thanks for the quick reply. I will test it when I get home and let you know the results.
