Thanks for the clue! I was just looking for packages with "libz" in the name. libz.a Was in a package named 'zlib-devel-static' in my distribution.

Ok, thanks this works!

But the htick documentation doesn't mention this or the 'Robot' keyword at all! But it does mention the FileFix* configuration lines, so how I am supposed to know!? ;-)
