Having initial problem with installation

I want to use pydarn in my system for polar convection maps, for that I have to convert FITACF to GRID to MAP files... I am trying to install DAWG rst software for that, however I am getting the following error during make.build (I am using the instructions provided on https://radar-software-toolkit-rst.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/linux_install/#installation)

Hi @alok342311 - have you confirmed that zlib is installed? If it is, is it also part of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

[alok342311]

Hello @JWiker .... thanks for your reply... the following massage I am getting for zlib1g ... I do not use linux frequently, I appreciate your guidance..... which path should I export for LD_LIBRARY_PATH

(base) space@Space:$ dpkg -L zlib1g
/.
/lib
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1.2.11
/(base) space@Space:$ dpkg -L zlib1g
/.

Try export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu - I think that should work since that's where the actual shared library files are located

It is showing the same error....
