Hi,

I have typed as
shrujan@ubuntu:~/Programs/velvet_1.2.10$ make
it gave me the error as:
src/readSet.c:38:18: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Ubuntu doesn't always have what you need in terms of development libraries. You need to know how to resolve this problem:

Is a good guide to working out how to fix these kinds of errors.

Also each program documentation should list dependencies for it to install/run... in your case you do not have zlib (library) http://zlib.net
