title: Installing zlib locally
body: <p>I have to install the <code>zlib</code> for a software to run in my institute server. I know I can install the <code>zlib</code> locally by using .</p>
  
  <pre><code>/configure --prefix=/home/local/zlib 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I installed it finally by using <code>make install</code> command. Now I needed to put this in path to run the other software which requires <code>zlib</code>. How I can set the path?</p>
  
  <p>I tried to use the export path using command <code>export PATH="$PATH:/home/local/zlib"</code> but I believe I don't have the root access so I cannot set that. Can some tell me any solution for this.</p>
