Xilinx error while compiling hello world, missing library - Ubuntu 14.04

Question

I'm am pretty new with Xilinx, so it might be a simple problem.

I'm am trying to make a program written in c, with the editor xsdk for a microblaze, I'm am running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit. When I'm trying to compile the c program i comes with an error:

/opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/EDK/gnu/microblaze/lin/bin/../lib/gcc/microblaze-xilinx-elf/4.6.4/../../../../microblaze-xilinx-elf/bin/as: 
error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [src/helloworld.o] Error 1

The program I'm trying to compile is the standard example hello world, so this should not course any problems.

Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

It seems like installing the package rpm fixed the problem - honestly i don't know why.
