Description
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 66272 Dec 12 22:55 /usr/lib/libz.a
Like Ncurses' libncurses++.a, libz.a should have 644 as permission bits. A simple
chmod 644 /usr/lib/libz.a
command does the trick.

Okay, that was just a heads up. The same permission problem was fixed on Ncurses installation, so I thought it was the default policy.

Applied the suggested fix. Thanks. Closing.

Umm, this is very minor and hardly worth fixing. But the precedent has been set with ncurses I s'pose.. Let's not get bogged down with fixing every tiny library perm' detail.. it could easily get out of hand if one really wants to get down to tin tacks.
