Installation error

[Yuan2yuan2yuan]

I've downloaded this file but still got a fatal error while installing slow5lib.

fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory

>yum list installed | grep zlib*  
zlib.x86_64                            1.2.7-20.el7_9                  @updates 
zlib-devel.x86_64                      1.2.7-20.el7_9                  @updates

Could you copy paste what is printed on the terminal when you call the make command? I want to to see which compiler it is using so I could give you the next step for trouble shooting.

Sure.

It seems like you are inside a conda environment. The gcc inside conda likely to be configured not to honour system wide include locations. There are two options that you can try

1. Install zlib development libraries inside the conda environment using something like conda install libzlib. Then try building.
2. Deactivate the conda environment. Then build using the system default gcc. Make sure you do a make clean first

Thank you for quickly replying. I will try it again.
