GapFiller compiling problem

Wow ok, that worked thank you! Apparently -lz was missing from the Makefile adding your suggestion while running the "./configure" command fixed it!

Thank you!

Can you check the Makefile and see if you can find a line that says LIBS? If there is "-lz" in that line, move it to the end of that line.

One other thing to try would be (if -lz is missing):

$ ./configure LIBS="-lz"

Hey!

For the last couple of days I've been trying to install GapFiller on linux. Sadly, i failed several times. After I ./configure; make i end up with the following error:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/bin/ld: samtools/GapFiller-bam_import.o: undefined reference to symbol 'gzdopen'
//usr/local/lib/libz.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [GapFiller] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `$HOME/ngs/gapfiller-2.1.1/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Has anyone encountered this error before? I've read quite abit about it, but couldnt find an effective solution. I've compiled a bunch of other softwares and they all worked fine.

Any input would be appreciated!
Best,
