I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on the following problem:

when I run stunnel: [root@test stunnel]# stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf 2006.01.03 10:49:27 LOG5[4619:1]: stunnel 4.14 on i686-pc-linux-gnu UCONTEXT+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7h 11 Oct 2005 2006.01.03 10:49:27 LOG3[4619:1]: Failed to initialize zlib compression method

content of stunnel.conf: foreground = yes debug = 7 cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem output = /dev/stdout chroot = /var/run/stunnel/ setuid = nobody setgid = nobody pid = /stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 compression = zlib [demo] accept = 1443 connect = www:80 TIMEOUTclose = 0

It also appears that the libraries are properly linked in: [root@test tmp]# ldd /usr/sbin/stunnel linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7fc9000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7fc5000) libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0xb7fc1000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0xb7fab000) libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0xb7f78000) libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (0xb7e66000) libwrap.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwrap.so.0 (0xb7e5f000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7d40000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fdf000)

I'm running this on Arch Linux with a stock 2.6.15 kernel. Any help would be appreciated.
