I got error while installing esATAC on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. devtools::install_github("wzthu/esATAC")

fastq_io.h:30:10: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory
 #include <zlib.h>
          ^~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

Error: Failed to install 'esATAC' from GitHub:
  (converted from warning) installation of package ‘Rbowtie2’ had non-zero exit status.

I ran but was already installed

$sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

Thank you in advance for your kind help!

The problem is with the way conda specifies compiler search paths. I suggest you reach out to conda support channels to resolve this.

Depending on your reason for using conda, a different solution might be the bioconductor_full docker image.
