Error in sabre installation

Question

[athira112athira]

Hi,

I am working with NGS metagenomic data. DNA isolated from gastric biopsy using the THSTI method, followed by PCR amplification of the V1-5 regions and sequencing using the 454 FLX+ approaches. Contains amplicon reads from all 41 samples. All the 39 samples were sequenced in a single multiplexed run. I need to demultiplex using the sample-specific sequencing barcodes provided in the supplementary table S5 of this paper.

I try to install sabre demultiplexing tool downloaded from github. Sabre also requires Zlib, which can be obtained at http://www.zlib.net/. I also download it and install the library after that I get an error during sabre installation.

dcb@dcb-P6-2355IL:~$ cd /home/dcb/Downloads/sabre/sabre-master
dcb@dcb-P6-2355IL:~/Downloads/sabre/sabre-master$ make
gcc -Wall -pedantic -DVERSION=1.00 -O3 -c src/demulti_single.c

You need to install zlib1g-dev

sudo apt install zlib1g-dev
