I am trying to install Platypus and have gotten the following error message: 

building 'htslibWrapper' extension
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c htslibWrapper.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/htslibWrapper.o -msse2 -msse3 -funroll-loops -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -fPIC

 #include "htslib/bgzf.h"
                         ^
compilation terminated.
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

I am new to Bioinformatics and cannot seem to find a working solution online.

Sometimes the bioinformatics applications don't describe thier dependencies all that well. See this link for a possible solution

Install htslib from http://www.htslib.org/download/ and copy c headers to Platypus root folder:

cp -r htslib-x.x.x/htslib platypus_folder/

Build again
