Did you compile GenomeTools from source? If so, please state the make parameters used.

make with-hmmer=yes threads=yes

What operating system (e.g. Ubuntu, Mac OS X), OS version (e.g. 15.10, 10.11) and platform (e.g. x86_64) are you using?

Hmm. If you installed GenomeTools via apt-get then you would not need to use make, you get the gt executable directly from the Ubuntu package. Just saying that because you stated % apt-get install genometools in your problem description. In that case you don't really need to do anything, you already have GenomeTools.

If you want to build from source: To solve your build error, you can either

make cleanup

and then

make threads=yes cairo=no

if you don't need AnnotationSketch (with-hmmer has been obsolete for a long time now), or if you need AnnotationSketch,

apt-get install libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev

and then retry your make call. You were missing the Cairo dependency needed to build with AnnotationSketch support.
