[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6630 bytes --]

I am trying to install Emacs Version 28.1 onto my Ubuntu GNU/Linux machine.

I have run the program ./configure with the following arguments with no
errors.

www@www-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/usr/share/emacs/emacs-28.1$ ./configure
--with-x-toolkit=no --with-xpm=ifavailable --with-jpeg=ifavailable
--with-png=ifavailable --with-gif=ifavailable --with-tiff=ifavailable
--with-gnutls=ifavailable

When I run "make" the command ld returns the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz

What am I doing wrong?  The print out of the command "make" is shown
below:

I thought the problem was a missing ld command so
I tried the following but received no joy.  Below is the
output of the install ld command:

www@www-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:~$ sudo apt-get install ld
[sudo] password for www:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package ld

Please help me get my Emacs running like it should!

"-lz" is the option for the linker lo link in a library called
"libz". The first attempt at a remedy would be to install the
corresponding packages (zlib1g and zlib1g-dev, you probably need
the "-dev" companion, since you are trying to compile against
it).

I'm not 100% sure that will help: if zlib were missing, I'd have
expected the build process to fail earlier.

Cheers

you probably need to install some more packages in order for
your operating system to be able to build emacs:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt build-dep emacs

before building emacs.  Otherwise ask a search engine "how
to build emacs on ubuntu" and you will get loads of helpful
links, like this one:

Ciao; Gregor

Thank you all for helping with my installation problems with GNU
Emacs Version 28.1.

What follows is a description of the behavior of Emacs Version 28.1:

One thing that I notice is the @ character appearing on the bottom
left of the mode line.  When I move the mouse over it, it says:
"emacsclient frame".

I also notice that loading and saving emacs takes much less time
than usual.  Is this because emacs is running as a daemon thread and
is invoked every time you click on the Emacs button?
