ld: library not found for -lz.1.2.3

Question

When trying to compile the software for iOS 5, XCode 4.2 throws an error:

ld: library not found for -lz.1.2.3

I found this post that tells me to replace 1.2.3. with 1.2.5

After doing what the link has suggested, it worked for XCode 4.2 but fails for older versions for XCode with the error

 ld: library not found for -lz.1.2.5

Has anyone encountered the above situation? How can I resolve this so that it will not fail between the different versions of SDK?

Try linking with just `-lz.1` ? – millimoose Oct 19 '11 at 00:18 — millimoose, Oct 19 '11 at 00:18

Just use -lz, there's no need to use the versioned link to it. So remove libz-1.2.5.dylib from frameworks and add libz.dylib.
