Friends,

I'm a brand new joiner to notmuch ('course so is nearly everyone).

I just tried compiling, and I see:

1.  g++ is also a 'dependency' though ./configure didn't catch it.
2.  I 'make' breaks with the following error:
.....
  CXX	lib/thread.o
  AR	lib/notmuch.a
  CXX	notmuch
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [notmuch] Error 1

This is a just-now git clone on a Ubuntu 9.10 machine which doesn't
happen to have too much dev stuff loaded.
Feel free to ignore this if it's been reported or it's otherwise 'known'

Cheers,
Scot
