I find libz.so, and several other libs in /usr/lib... is there a way to 
add that to the library path on the makefile?

By the bye, if I haven't said it before, thanks for all your help.  I'm 
really not too clear on a lot of this stuff, and having help from 
someone who knows what they're doing is very meaningful.
