Error in compiling in linux

[faraza621]

Hi,
I encountered the error below when compiling. This is after the command [make STAR]

make -C htslib lib-static
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/faraza621/STAR-2.7.11b/source/htslib'
cc -g -Wall -O2 -I. -DSAMTOOLS=1 -c -o kfunc.o kfunc.c
make[1]: cc: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [Makefile:99: kfunc.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/faraza621/STAR-2.7.11b/source/htslib'
Makefile:138: Depend.list: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:149: htslib/libhts.a] Error 2

I already tried installing zlib1g but error persist.

Thank you!
