It seems like both libraries use BGZF_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE. We will discuss whether we can change this internally, but that won't help you right now. If you use the new SeqAn release you could *not look* for the compression libraries, i.e. do not call find_package(zlib). This should deactivate our bgzf code and then it should compile.
