Yes.  But I don't pass commands through the command line.

No, not for swish, but yes, considering that there's a security patch out
for zlib now.

Again, compress2 is used for compressing large properties into the index
file.  The call to compress2 is only compiled in when you use --with-zlib
in ./configure.  Did you build with --with-zlib?

Argh, this unix library stuff confuses me.  Why would zlib not get loaded
at run time?

What's the output from ldd src/swish-e?
How about nm src/libswish-e.a  | grep compress2
