Dear @paulmenzel ,

Thank you for your interest in Wiggletools, and for flagging this up to us.

For the records, and while waiting for the PR, please find below a couple of ways to fix this.

After having clones the htslib repo

cd htslib
git submodule update --init --recursive
make install

Or even before cloning the htslib repo, to install the htslib library

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/samtools/htslib.git
cd htslib
make install
