kmergenie - Error 1 - It is doesnt work when I typed 'make'

Question

[margxenscienculo]

Good morning.

I am trying to use kmergenie v1.6972. But it is broken when I typed "make"

sudo make
g++ -o minia/Pool.o -c minia/Pool.cpp -O4 -pthread  -D_largeint -DKMER_PRECISION=4
make: g++: Command not found
make: *** [minia/Pool.o] Error 127

Firstly I install g++ like the next user told me. But it appears new errors. I have r-base, Rscript installed.

I show the error with make, make check and ./kmergenie

make
g++ -o minia/Pool.o -c minia/Pool.cpp -O4 -pthread  -D_largeint -DKMER_PRECISION=4
g++ -o minia/Bank.o -c minia/Bank.cpp -O4 -pthread  -D_largeint -DKMER_PRECISION=4

sudo apt-get install g++

Answer 2

Whenever you see an error such as

XXX.h: No such file or directory

the solution is to search for and install a package usually (but not always) named something like XXX-dev.

So in this case

apt-cache search zlib dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

It is always worth doing a Google search with errors like these; they are common and many people will have posted solutions to them.

Thanks. I dont know the option apt-cache. Regards.
