Question

[harry]

I downloading the tophat2 from "http://ccb.jhu.edu/software/tophat/downloads/tophat-2.1.1.tar.gz" but when I used "make" command it comes to this error--please anyone can solve this issue. Thanks in advance. I search google but can't find anything.

There are precompiled binaries available for this tool, and you could install it via package managers such as conda, there is really no need to compile it from source. See the releases tab at the website you link. Not discussing here that tophat2 is old and deprecated and you should probably use newer alternatives such as hisat2 or STAR.

I agree with ATpoint, I would look into conda. It will save you endless hours of trying to debug.
