stampy install error??

Question

[Cherry]

Hi, everyone!I am a new one to bioinformatic. So please forgive I am so clumsy. I have an issue when installing stampy to cluster and I am not sure how to fix it.

I download stampy-1.0.23 (I think it is the newest one), run make and then it said:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/**/programs/stampy-1.0.23'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/**/programs/stampy-1.0.23'
cp -r build/python2.7/* .
g++ `python2.7-config --ldflags` -pthread -shared -Wl build/linux-x86_64-2.7-ucs2/pyx/maptools.o build/linux-x86_64-2.7-ucs2/c/maputils.o build/linux-x86_64-2.7-ucs2/c/alignutils.o build/linux-x86_64-2.7-ucs2/readalign.o build/linux-x86_64-2.7-ucs2/algebras.o build/linux-x86_64-2.7-ucs2/frontend.o -o maptools.so
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/**/programs/stampy-1.0.23'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/**/programs/stampy-1.0.23'

Does anybody know what happened and how should I do?

Do you have any type of error message printed out on screen?

Hi airan,

Nothing else. That were all the messages I have got.

Did I succeed or fail to install?

If you don't have any error message I guess that it is OK. You can try to run stampy and see what happens:

./stampy.py --help

I typed ./stampy.py --help and I got:

Could not import the maptools module -- does the maptools.so library exist?

You have errors related to python installation... have you read this?: http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/~gerton/README.txt

In the 2. Building part, you can see the most common problems during stampy installation. Check python installation issues and install again.

Hi airan, thanks a lot!

Actually, I have read but I failed to fix it.

Anyway, I will try to install python again and then stampy.

Hope it will work!

BTW, to fix the error

ImportError: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /data/home/di98zud2/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/zlib.so)

try running this:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6

You need to upgrade your libc6 package because Stampy was compiled against glibc version 2.14, and it requires that version to run, but your system has an older version installed.
