[Spambayes] Spambayes installation in SuSE Linux / No module named zlib ?

[Olli J. Marttila]

Dear list,

I overcome the first hurdles in installing Spambayes0.7 in 
SuSE Linux 8.2 by compiling python 2.3.2 instead of the 
default rpm-file. As my e-mail protocol is IMAP, I run 
sb_imapfilter.py -b with the following result:

------------------

marttila at linux:~> sb_imapfilter.py -b
SpamBayes IMAP Filter Beta1, version 0.1 (September 2003),
using SpamBayes IMAP Filter Web Interface Alpha2, version 
0.02
and engine SpamBayes Beta2, version 0.2 (July 2003).

User interface url is http://localhost:8880/
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/sb_imapfilter.py", line 825, in ?
    run()
  File "/usr/local/bin/sb_imapfilter.py", line 801, in run

    import zlib
ImportError: No module named zlib

--------------

Yet I have both zlib-1.1.4-105 and zlib-devel-1.1.4-105 
installed from SuSE home site. 

In addition, writing URL http://localhost:8880 leads to an 
advertisment site www.netbreakthrough.com - apparently 
because the installation did not get through.

So Iam still at a loss what to do. Can anyone help me?
