Isn't that libz? I've never heard of libgzip, and there isn't one on my
system. The header is zlib.h. Also, the problem with that is that it's
not capable of handling the ZIP file format. It can do the lower-level
compression, and it can read and write GZIP files, but it doesn't do
ZIP. As someone recently pointed out, though there is some contributed
code to the zlib project that can handle ZIP files. You can also
purchase PKWARE's SDK.

Cheers,
Will
