zabbix linking against various libraries.

[abi]

hi,

one might notice that both agent and server binaries link against
libz and libgnutls, even thought i cant find any reference in
the code where parts of these libraries are used (like, header
files included, function calls etc..)

[2]abi@kida:~$ ldd /usr/bin/zabbix_agent
[..]
libgnutls.so.13 => /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.13
[..]
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (
[..]

so, my guess is that this linkage is somehow related to how
zabbix deals with snmp, am i right? Some insight on this would
be great

I remember that it was somehow related to older versions of MySQL and perhaps ucd-snmp.

oh well, both libz and libgnutls are interlib deps pulled in by
libldap_r, so thats okey. thanks for your time.
