[BioC] Trouble installing 'makecdfenv'

[Jim Breaux]

I am having trouble installing the latest release of 'makecdfenv,' and I am
hoping someone can help me out.  When I tried to install the source package,
I got the following errors after calling "Rcmd INSTALL
makecdfenv_1.4.1.tar.gz":

--------- Making package makecdfenv ------------

Where is the file 'zlib.h' supposed to come from (it doesn't appear to be in
'makecdfenv_1.4.1.tar.gz')?

Does anyone have any suggestions that might help me get this to work?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Jim
