Error when running "make"

[cats4gold]

Today, I was trying to compile and install a minecraft mapper with the program "make". I navigated to the directory in terminal and ran make. It found the make file and begins to work, then spits an error and stops. To be specific, this was the error:

cats4gold@computer:~/Downloads/cartograph-linux$ make
make -C src/
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/cats4gold/Downloads/cartograph-linux/src'
g++ -c -pipe -O2 -Wall main.cpp -o main.o
In file included from main.cpp:16:
Level.h:8: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [main.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cats4gold/Downloads/cartograph-linux/src'
make: *** [default] Error 2
cats4gold@computer:~/Downloads/cartograph-linux$

It just looks like a missing directory, but I was just making sure this was all. Thanks in advance.

Have you got the 'build-essential' package?

 sudo apt-get install build-essential

You should have this before compiling.

No, it can't find the zlib.h header file; zlib provides support for the gzip compression algorithm.

I'm going to guess that you don't have the kernel-headers installed; that's where zlib.h lives in my installation. The package name depends on your version of Ubuntu. Try running "dpkg -s linux-headers-$(uname -r)" to see if you have the headers installed. If not, then use "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" to get them.

Status: install ok installed

build-essential is already the newest version.

Actually, it appears they weren't installed, or at least needed to be updated. No effect, though.

Do you have zlib1g-dev installed?

Edit: if not then install the ubuntu package, (sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev ), do not do as this fellow (built and installed zlib source

Thanks! That solves one problem, but leads to another error:

Same thing, different missing file.

What you can do is search here for the file and ck. the results (scroll down to "Search the contents of packages"
Make sure you set to search the ubuntu release you're using,
http://packages.ubuntu.com/
Ex.
these are the results on maverick for png.h
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?se...erick&arch=any

So I'd take a guess and install 'libpng12-dev'

Edit: which mapper are you trying to build?

I'll take a look at these, thanks!

Also, I'm working on cartograph.
