STAR installation make error

I'd like to install STAR in our cluster.

I download the .tar.gz files and tar -xvf this file.

$cd source
$make STAR

I'd wonder if it may make more sense to install the Anaconda package manager and then install STAR using that?

The command then would be conda install -c bioconda star.

Thanks for your reply. I prefer to install it from scratch, since I use linux cluster....

Either missing Zlib-devel or they are not in your library paths.

Yea, thats likely the problem. Consult your clouds documentation and see if theres a proxy. If there is you have to set an environment variable to the proxy (eg., export ftp_proxy=0.0.0.0), then pass the users env to sudo. So: export ftp_proxy=0.0.0.0 sudo -E apt-get install ....

also, the github for STAR comes with precompiled binaries. you could always use those too.
