Hiawatha version: 9.6
Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr
(uname: Linux 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:51:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

Initial Issue:
/tmp/hiawatha-9.6/src/log.c:20:18: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory
#include <zlib.h>
^
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/hiawatha.dir/src/log.c.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/hiawatha.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Installed build essentials and the zlib dev package(s).

Second issue.

I have the confirmed the presence of the following:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so
/usr/include/zlib.h

I attempted to force it to use clang by setting CC/CXX vars to clang per suggestion on a similar topic. Results were the same.
Unsure what to do.

Execute the extra/make_debian_package script and follow the package-installation instructions.

Upon execution I received:

*bangs head against wall* Seems there is a stupid bug in that script. Replace "fakeroot" at line 22 with "${package}".

Anyhow, install these Debian packages: make gcc libc6-dev dpkg-dev debhelper fakeroot libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev

Sorry for the late response. Finally got around to it. Your suggestion(s) worked fine. Thanks a lot!
