Hi Igor,

Even after compiling and installing zlib 1.2.7 from source, the
default 'one-click' install for osmconvert did not work, but after
explicitly pointing to /usr/local/lib with the -L option, it did.
Thanks for your patient responses.
Apparently I have an older version of zlib hanging around in /usr/lib.
Is this something I should be worried about in general?

Best
Martijn
