[ewg] tvflash build fails on SLES SP1(ofed-1.2-rc4-20070611)

[Patrick Mullaney]

Sorry about the late response and the line length on the initial post. Suse maintains libgz
as a link to libz for historical reasons(around '95 the name was changed from libgz
libz). I should have referenced the z and not gz for compatibility with distros that do not
maintain both library names. Thanks for adding fix.

Its likely all distros will eventually hit this when they upgrade. I put in a quick fix on SLES 10 SP1 and it works there. I'd suggest adding something like this to configure.in:

I already committed a better version of this and asked that it be
pulled into OFED 1.2 this morning.

BTW, why does SLES 10 use the name libgz for what everyone else in the
world calls libz?
