Hi all,

Error In Velvet 1.2.10 Installation In Debian

I have the same problem when trying to install velvet 1.2.10 in Kubuntu. I tar the file and when doing "make" as root I get a similar error:

chariko@NGS:~/Illumina/software/velvet_1.2.10$ sudo make velveth velvetg

I tried also make BUNDLEDZLIB=1:
