zlib package not found

Hello

I'm trying to install zlib library on Kali 64 bits but I'm getting an error saying package not found I've tried:

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev:i386
sudo apt-get install lib32z1

but all failed
I could install the package on 64 bits Ubuntu using the first one but I don't know why it fails with Kali

hello forumers, this is my first post :)

I'm also experiencing the same issue as the OP, tried to install rails and launch a new blog but after doing

Code:

bundle install

bundler fails and complains zlib is missing.

@OP Please do:

Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

and post your results

Mine are as below:

Code:

# # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20160120-18:14]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20160120-18:14]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib ## Security updates deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

This is a fresh install done today and the last three sources I added after reading the stickies in this forum.

My next stop is to try and build zlib from source, I'll post back if I have any luck.

here's the fix I followed

make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list reads:

Code:

# # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20160120-18:14]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2016.1 _Kali-rolling_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20160120-18:14]/ kali-rolling contrib main non-free deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

then do:

Code:

apt-get install zlib1g-dev

hope this helps!
