configure: error: Package requirements (liblzma) were not met:

No package 'liblzma' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LZMA_CFLAGS
and LZMA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Install the R language solution.

yum install R

[vasi]

You can also pass --without-manpage to skip manpage generation so you don't need asciidoc. The option is mentioned in configure --help.

As you noticed, you'll need LZMA as well, see the list of dependencies: https://github.com/vasi/pixz#dependencies

If you share what distro you're on, and what version, I'd be happy to help you figure out the right commands to get the dependencies.
