tophat install errors

[crazy_dog]

Could you please give me some advice for handling tophat installation errors?

I am installing tophat following manual's instruction. When I run ./configure, everything seems okay and there is no error. However, when I run make, I get following errors.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I found that this is caused by a bug of zlib 1.2.5.

I solved this problem by downgrading zlib from 1.2.5 to 1.2.4. Now tophat works perfectly!!

Hi all!
I'm trying to install tophat but I get exactly the same error:

I've no idea how dowgrading zlib library and I've just installed zlib-1.2.5 as I think the bug was solved...
According to tophat "getting started" I copied libbam.a file in /usr/local/lib and a bam directory in /usr/local/include so I just did ./configure in order to install tophat.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks a lot in advance.
