make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/home/stephen/Apps/LRSIM/DWGSIMSrc/samtools/misc' gcc -g -Wall -O3 -o samtools bam_tview.o bam_plcmd.o sam_view.o bam_rmdup.o bam_rmdupse.o bam_mate.o bam_stat.o bam_color.o bamtk.o kaln.o bam2bcf.o bam2bcf_indel.o errmod.o sample.o cut_target.o phase.o bam2depth.o padding.o bedcov.o bamshuf.o bam_tview_curses.o bam_tview_html.o libbam.a -Lbcftools -lbcf -lcurses -lm -lz -lpthread /mnt/home/stephen/.linuxbrew/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurses collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [samtools] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/home/stephen/Apps/LRSIM/DWGSIMSrc/samtools' make: *** [all-recur] Error 1

Also FYI, the first step of the install should be cd LRSIM not cd 10xReadsSimulator

you need to install the 'ncurses' library.

You can get more details on installing the library here:

Please notice that you need root to install a new library. If you are using a shared computing grid, you might wanna write to the administrators.
