Problem Installing Vcftools

Hi everyone. Can anyone help me with this error when installing the latest version (0.1.11) of vcftools?

make[1]: * [bgzf.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/da/vcftools_0.1.11/cpp' /bin/sh: 2: cd: can't cd to perl make: * [install] Error 2

Please note that I have already installed the zlib package and tried with previous vcftoools versions. Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much indeed,

Dr

It would be helpful if you posted the lines preceding that one. The original cause of the error is probably somewhere above that. BTW, what OS are you using? This compiles fine for me.

You might need the development zlib package. Try apt-get install zlib1g-dev or yum install zlib-devel.
