Maq make error on Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit

[sbberes]

Update: Searching the web found an Unbutu Maq patch that may address the issue.
SBB

Hello bioinformatics gurus,
I am trying to run Maq under vmware fusion using an Unbuntu 64 bit virtual machine on my MacPro. I have the Maq linux 64 bit distribution. When I try to ./configure, make, make install, I get an error 2 message in make. Initially it suggested that maybe I needed to get the latest versions of Autoconf and GNU m4 - which I did. This did not solve the problem. Currently the problem seems to be associated with an inability to find zlib.h. I used the package manager to add the latest version of the zlib dev package, and specifically added zlib.h to my path. However ./configure still does not seem to be able to identify zlib.h, and make fails with the same error message. The ./configure and make output are below. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Make sure you have zlib installed.

As Nilshomer said the problem is the missing zlib.h, however there is a bug in maq as the configure should have failed if this was a requirement.

A quick fix in ubuntu would be:

sudo apt-get install zliblg-dev

Thanks for the advice

Thanks for the prompt feedback. The first thing I did when I got the error messages was check for zlibg and then run an install. However that did not seem to solve the problem. Reran the install this morning and now ./configure finds zlib. Maq make still failed now complaining that the version of autoconf was to new. Was able to solve the problem by installing the latest version of g++ and dependancies.

Again thanks for the assistance.
