Error 1 for make file

[Hedi65]

Dear developer

i followed all the steps suggested by you in order to install longQC. however, I'm getting error while compiling the package.

~/Downloads$ cd LongQC/minimap2-coverage && make
cc -c -g -O2 -Wall -Wc++-compat -DHAVE_KALLOC minimap2-coverage.c -o minimap2-coverage.o
minimap2-coverage.c:4:10: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory
4 | #include <zlib.h>
| ^~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:29: minimap2-coverage.o] Error 1

any help is appreciated.

Hi @Hedi65 ,

Thanks for having your interests in our tool.
Which OS did you try to install LongQC to?
The cause looks the lack of the header file (or library) called zlib.h.
You would be able to find how to install zlib easily as it's a famous lib.

I hope this helps.
