how can I get package libz.so.1?

I'm trying to make a Minecraft bedrock edition server and I can't make it work cause of a library called libz.so.1. The following error pops up 'cannot open shared library libz.so.1'.

I have tried installing and updating zlib1g but it made no difference.


Solution 1:

You need the development libraries for zlib1g, not just the runtime environment.

sudo apt install zlib1g-dev will install the underlying development libraries that your compiler is trying to find.
