Enabling Mod Deflate in Apache

I got an error while compiling Apache today:

“./configure” \
“–enable-auth-digest” \
“–enable-deflate” \
“–enable-rewrite” \
“–enable-so” \
“–enable-vhost-alias” \
“–disable-userdir” \
“–enable-mime-magic” \

configure: error: mod_deflate has been requested but can not be built due to prerequisite failures

I fixed this by installing zlib from source.
