I tried that script and I get this error:

What is this z library, why isn't it installed, and where can I get it?

It is a very common compression library. You should be able to install it with:

Code:

yum install zlib

I get the same error, I have both zlib and zlib-devel installed.

EDIT: Installing zlib-static solved that error. I then got a second error for -ldl and installing glibc-static solved that issue too. Now that I look at the output from TT I notice that the build failed in a completely different place, mine failed at the very end when it's using the new makfile on bitcoind. So his problem is probably just not having zlib/zlib-devel installed.

Also, I think my problem may have been because I didn't remove the Bitcoin/ directory after some failed builds earlier from missing dependencies.
