./configure doesn't find Qt5Core, QT5GUI, QT5Widgets - installation

I've recently replaced Win10 by Linux Debian 11.2 on my PC (hence I'm a newbee in Linux). Now, not all programs are available as deb-Files.
I tried to compile source code - here a synthesizer ams-2.2.0 - from a tar.gz files (after unzipping into a separate folder) with steps (as written in the INSTALL.TXT to this source, and obviously usual)
./configure
make
make install
I get a bunch of error messages for missing files, when running ./congigure most resolved by installation of missing packages, but at last it fails with error message:
checking for QTCore Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets >= 5.0... no
configure: error: cannot find Qt5 library >= 5.0
(hope to get all written correctly, because I can't copy from the terminal ... Ctrl-Shift-C doesn't seem to work)
I checked the installation in synaptics and found that Qt-Version is 5.12. So what's wrong here?
I'm afraid to have this error message everytime I try to compile different source codes.

You need to install libqtcore and libqtwidgets with development headers, they are in qtbase5-dev package.
sudo apt install build-essential qtbase5-dev qtchooser

Cannot Find libatomic.so.1

I'm trying to build snappy, but I end up getting the error
error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
When I go look in /lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/ I do find a file libatomic.so
Which has the contents
INPUT ( /usr/lib64/libatomic.so.1.2.0 )
then if I go looking in /usr/lb64/ only these files exist
libatomic_ops_gpl.so.1
libatomic_ops_gpl.so.1.1.2
libatomic_ops.so.1
libatomic_ops.so.1.1.1
I try doing yum install libatomic_ops.x86_64, it says nothing to do. That is the only package that comes up when doing yum search libatomic.
I'm confused with how to solve this issue. Thanks!
For what it matters, this is a redhat 8.6 machine.
This was solved by running dnf install gcc, this updated gcc and allowed for yum install libatomic to work

How to fix fatal error: zlib.h: no such file or directory?

I'm trying to compile miniSAT on Kali Linux 64 bits but I keep getting the error message:
fatal error: zlib.h: no such file or directory
I have read that there might be a linking problem that makes the compiler unable to find the header files, but I'm new to Linux and do not know how to solve that.
You should install the development support files for zlib, try:
sudo apt-get install libz-dev
Other package names: zlib1g-dev.
If you've already zlib library, make sure you're compiling your code sources with -lz. See: missing zlib.h in ubuntu.
Install zlib from it's source, solve my similar error.
Download last version from this then:
configure
make -j4
make install

Agave dependency error

I am trying to install Agave under Fedora, but I got this error:
configure: error: gnome-doc-utils >= 0.3.2 not found
I tried to compile and install the gnome-doc-utils from this page, but i still got this error,and when i try the
yum list installed gnome-doc-utils*
command, I can't find the package. Do I have to register the package after installing? I don't think I have a error for the make install, because I don't see any the text error in the process, or I could be wrong.
In general, package managers (tools like yum) don't know that something has been installed on your machine unless it was installed as a package. If an agave package for Fedora exists, I would suggest using that instead of compiling from source.

easy_install M2Crypto failing on Windows platform

I am attempting to install M2Crypto on a Windows XP platform. I have Python, easy_install and SWIG installed, but when I attempt to easy_install M2Crypto I get the following:
SWIG\_m2crypto.i(31) : Error: Unable to find 'openssl\opensslv.h'
SWIG\_m2crypto.i(45) : Error: Unable to find 'openssl\safestack.h'
SWIG\_evp.i(12) : Error: Unable to find 'openssl\opensslconf.h'
SWIG\_ec.i(7) : Error: Unable to find 'openssl\opensslconf.h'
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'swig.exe' failed with exit status 1
I have read elsewhere that people have suggested easy_install openssl-devel, but that simply tells me that there are no packages found with that name. Is the name perhaps case-sensitive (I've tried various permutations without success), or does that advice not apply to Windows?
I'm not looking for alternatives to M2Crypto. I am picking up some existing code that uses it, so I need to get my development environment to be able to run what's already written.
As jay stated in his answer you should try to build it from source. And I tried. The setup.py does not recognize the --openssl option. Looking at the output from the default setup.py I realized that the search location was c:\pkg and not c:\pkg\openssl.
The solution:
Download and install OpenSSL from Win32 OpenSSL
Copy the lib and include folders to c:\pkg
Check that swig.exe is available in your path
Run easy_install M2Crypto
Worked for me like a charm.
Had a similar problem. After downloading the source package of M2Crypto and reading the INSTALL file I found the following:
Differences when installing on Windows
--------------------------------------
Before building from source, you need to install OpenSSL's include files,
import libraries and DLLs. By default setup.py assumes that OpenSSL include
files are in ``c:\pkg\openssl\include``, and the import libraries
in ``c:\pkg\openssl\lib``. As with other platforms, you can specify a different
OpenSSL location with --openssl option to build_ext command.

Help Installing psycopg2 on snow leopard : command '/usr/bin/gcc-4.0' failed with exit status 1

This has been driving me crazy for 2 days.
I have been trying to install psycopg2 using easy_install and no matter what I try (i.e using gcc-4.0 instead of the snow leopard default one) I always get the same error:
error: Setup script exited with error: command '/usr/bin/gcc-4.0' failed with exit status 1
Please see: http://dpaste.com/hold/228252/
I have googled that error so many times and nothing I have found seem to help.
Looks like you're missing a dependency, the development files for libpq. The relevant log part is here:
In file included from psycopg/psycopgmodule.c:32In file included from psycopg/psycopgmodule.c:32:
./psycopg/psycopg.h:31:22: error: libpq-fe.h: No such file or directory
Try installing libpq development files and then rerun easy_install. You may hit another missing dependency; pay attention to the first error that GCC spits out.
Link http://dpaste.com/hold/228252/ seems to be dead, this is how I solved this problem (Mac OS X 10.6, virtualenv).
If pip fails with this message, just take a look to build folder in your virtual environment. You should edit setup.cfg file there, particularly include_dirs and library_dirs. In first one set your include folders, my option was:
include_dirs=/opt/local/include/postgresql84:/opt/local/include/postgresql84/server
and most likely you will need to set library_dirs to correct location as well:
library_dirs=/opt/local/lib/postgresql84.
probably you should install postgresql-devel first
yum -y install postgresql-devel
