If you are a software developer, consider moving to Zlib-ng.

To check which zlib versions and build types are currently supported on Discoverer, execute on the login node:

module avail zlib

The recipe followed to build the source code is available at:

Each version of zlib installed in the public software repository is built against four compiler sets: (i) Intel oneAPI, (ii) NVIDIA HPC SDK, (iii) AMD Optimized Compiler Collection (AOCC), (iv) GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The name of the environmental module contains the name of the compiler set employed for compiling the zlib source code.

module avail zlib/*/*intel

module avail zlib/*/*nvidia

module avail zlib/*/*aocc
