zlib extensions disabled

[Peter Oakley]

I'm looking for some help with Wordpress auto-updating, which  
apparently uses gzip compression.  I am using php5 @5.3.0_1+apache 
+macosx+mysql5, and I have zlib @1.2.3_3 installed and active. In the  
"Phar" section of my phpinfo, I see the line for "gzip compression:  
disabled (install ext/zlib)". I tried making sure zlib is enabled in  
my php.ini file, but the documentation is not helpful. Can anyone  
give me some guidance regarding how to enable zlib for gzip compression?

FYI, the error I am getting when I try to do the Wordpress auto- 
update is: "Abort class-pclzip.php : Missing zlib extensions".  
Perhaps someone on this email list has already encountered and solved  
this problem?
