compiled software installed correctly?
Greetings all, first time poster.
I have always had an interest in Unix and so decided to try and learn some on my own. I have learned a great deal by just lurking, so for those of you who patiently share your knowledge-thank you!
I am in the process of compiling and installing some software; specifically libraries for PHP and MySQL. How can I tell if the software has installed correctly?
After going through ./configure && make && make install everything seems ok. But issuing a pkginfo -l | grep *zlib* does not come back with anything (to search for zlib).
Probably because that would only work with a pre-confgiured package.
Anyway, how does a person confirm that compiled software installs correctly?
Thank you,
~Robert

LIBZ(3) Library Functions Manual LIBZ(3)
NAME
libz - compression/decompression library
SYNOPSIS
[see zlib.h for full description]
DESCRIPTION
The libz (zlib) library is a general purpose data compression library. The code is thread safe. It provides in-memory compression and
decompression functions, including integrity checks of the uncompressed data. This version of the library supports only one compression
method (deflation) but other algorithms will be added later and will have the same stream interface.
Compression can be done in a single step if the buffers are large enough (for example if an input file is mmap'ed), or can be done by
repeated calls of the compression function. In the latter case, the application must provide more input and/or consume the output (provid-
ing more output space) before each call.
The library also supports reading and writing files in gzip (.gz) format with an interface similar to that of stdio.
The library does not install any signal handler. The decoder checks the consistency of the compressed data, so the library should never
crash even in case of corrupted input.
All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h. The distribution source includes examples of use of the
library the files example.c and minigzip.c.
A Java implementation of zlib is available in the Java Development Kit 1.1
http://www.javasoft.com/products/JDK/1.1/docs/api/Package-java.util.zip.html
A Perl interface to zlib, written by Paul Marquess (pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk) is available at CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network)
sites, such as:
ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module/Compress/Compress-Zlib*
A Python interface to zlib written by A.M. Kuchling <amk@magnet.com> is available from the Python Software Association sites, such as:
ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/contrib/Encoding/zlib*.tar.gz
