Hi all,
Hope you can help me. I bought a new laptop from pc specialists and I'm well chuffed with it, but I have come across an annoying problem with one program (unfortunately fairly important one- the rti-paye tool from HMRC) Won't install or run properly, and when I have tried to run through terminal it tells me that python cannot find Zlib then 'core dumped'. I tried a re-install of Xubuntu 16.04 with no change. Tried an install of Mint 18.3 which wouldn't even complete an install or then obviously boot... tried Ubuntu Mate. No joy. ANY suggestions other than the obvious ones I have tried (i.e re-compiling Python, most of the suggestions that come on a search...)
I am going to re-install Xubuntu 16.04 as at least it installed properly other than the missing library from Python.
Once I have done that I'll add more detailed information.
Thanks
Anthony



Have you tried

pip install zlibÂ

only the minimum python will be installed so you may even need to

sudo apt-get install python-pipÂ

to get pip installed!
