It's not a zip file, it's a "package" - meaning it's a target for installing something to the image and makes up multiple tools, the headers/libs, some symlinks, etc. See here: http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/build/jam/OptionalPackages#L178 That's why I indicated in the forums that you really should install this package when building your images, as it's not something you can easily install afterward. - Urias
