Greetings,
I have need of a newer ZLIB and/or maybe the ZLIB-DEVEL.
I need 1.2.2 or later and was told to go to www.zlib.net
On that site, it mentions...
zlib for Linux, both shared and static plus headers (RPM format, many architectures)
so what I am wondering is this,
is there a new ZLIB coming down the "upstream" pipe now or quickly?
if there a specific YUM command to snag from another repository(ies) that you and the developers trust?
if not, which one should I grab from www.zlib.net that will not cause me any future problems with "yum" or any other situations etc?
TIA and regards,

Do you really need 1.2.2 or just the latest security patches ... if you must really have 1.2.2 or greater, you should probably download the latest SRPM from the Fedora Rawhide project (it, or an RPM like it, will be in newer versions of RHEL and FC).

Then use it to make zlib and zlib-devel on your platform. I just verified that it builds on CentOS-3.4 and 4.0 with the command:
rpmbuild --rebuild zlib-1.2.2.2-3.src.rpm
(must have gcc, make, rpm-build as a minimum installed on the machine ... maybe some other packages)
I can provide those files for daonload if you can't get them to build ... are you on CentOS-3.x or CentOS-4.x.
