i tried to setup a latex linter in atom. The one I found was linter-chktex. For it to be working I have to install ChkTeX. So I have downloaded it here. But every time I'm trying to make i get the following error:
FindErrs.c:39:10: fatal error: 'pcreposix.h' file not found
Can someone explain to me how to get it working?
EDIT: I fixed this error by giving the full path of pcreposix.h after locating it. make does work now and here is the log:

But as soon as I try to sudo make install this error appears:
no ChkTeX.tex
make: no: No such file or directory
make: *** [ChkTeX.dvi] Error 1
But the ChkTeX.tex is in the directory.
I just had the same problem.
Turns out make does not find the file no in your directory. no is the content of the LATEX variable in the Makefile, if ./configure did not find a LaTeX distribution.
If you set the LATEX variable to the path of your latex executable, you can run sudo make install without a problem.
In my case (El Capitan) I had to put
LATEX=/usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/x86_64-darwin/latex
on line 48 of the makefile, and thereby replace
LATEX=no
to make it work.
