zlib error installing GIT on shared hosting

I am attempting to install git onto my UK2 shared hosting server, following this guide:

http://www.randallkent.com/development/install-git-on-a-cpanel-shared-hosting-account

I have got to the very last couple of steps 'make' & 'make install' when i receive the following error:

config.status: executing config.mak.autogen commands
* new build flags
CC credential-store.o
In file included from credential-store.c:1:
cache.h:19:18: warning: zlib.h: No such file or directory
In file included from credential-store.c:1:
cache.h:21: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘z_stream’
make: *** [credential-store.o] Error 1

My hosting provider has enabled zlib compression for me but i am still unable to install git.

Is there something I am missing or is it not possible on my hosting server?

Thanks very much

It seems to be you have to install zlib. If you are using Centos, install zlib by using yum install zlib-devel If you are using Debian, install zlib by using apt-get install zlib1g-dev. If you wanna get source grep it from http://www.zlib.net/ and install it, if you do this sure you will have git in your system. Note: If you install git from the aptitude package manager or from repositories it will automatically install the dependencies.

You only need to use ./configure --with-zlib={your zlib path}

It helped me to compile git with this option.

I have had the same issue with a client who is hosted on their server. But thankfully cpanel comes with a version of GIT. Its at "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/git"

You can see a fix here: http://www.codefuel.co.uk/cpanel-git-resolved/
