Ncbi-Blast+ Version 2.2.23 'Make' Error

Question

[Heidi]

I'm getting errors when I run 'make' for rmblast-1.2-ncbi-blast-2.2.23+-src. This is the version of RMBlast modified for use with RepeatMasker from their site. I had no problem installing it in Ubuntu on my laptop (64-bit), but am now struggling with it on my Desktop (32-bit, Ubuntu 11.10). The configure runs successfully, but here are the errors I get after running 'make':

Another site suggested the following fix:

make LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-as-needed"

I tried that with the same results. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

[Ying W]

this is probably not the right place to be asking this type of question but I would make sure that the version of gcc is the same for laptop and desktop and to wrap the error output in code tags so it is easier to read

From the documentation: "Please visit www.repeatmasker.org to submit questions or feedback for us." Probably best to provide a step by step account of your errors to the authors.

Hello,

Sorry to be reopening this thread after 7 years! But I am facing issues trying to install rpsblast and rpsproc for interproscan 5. I have followed the instructions around "Compiling Binaries" in the Interproscan handbook for rpsblast and rpsproc. I am able to get to the configure step, but make fails everytime. Here are some details.

I have followed the following instructions:

mkdir cddblast
cd cddblast
wget ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/executables/blast+/2.9.0/ncbi-blast-2.9.0+-src.tar.gz
wget ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/executables/blast+/2.9.0/ncbi-blast-2.9.0+-src.tar.gz.md5
md5sum -c ncbi-blast-2.9.0+-src.tar.gz.md5
# Above command should return "ncbi-blast-2.9.0+-src.tar.gz: OK" if download successful
tar xvzf ncbi-blast-2.9.0+-src.tar.gz
cd ncbi-blast-2.9.0+-src/c++/src/app/
wget ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/mmdb/cdd/rpsbproc/rpsbproc-0.5.0-src.tar.gz
tar xvzf rpsbproc-0.5.0-src.tar.gz
#edit Makefile.in and make sure SUB_PROJ is assigned two applications as follows: SUB_PROJ = blast rpsbproc
cd ../../
./configure
/usr/bin/make
#after compilation is complete
cp ReleaseMT/bin/rpsblast <interproscan_install_dir>/bin/blast/ncbi-blast-2.9.0+/
cp ReleaseMT/bin/rpsbproc <interproscan_install_dir>/bin/blast/ncbi-blast-2.9.0+/

I am using GCC 4.9.4 and running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.9 (Santiago)

The installation works fine till the "configure" step. Some of the last lines are as follows

CXXFLAGS =  -Wall -Wno-format-y2k  -pthread -fopenmp -O2 -fPIC
LDFLAGS  =  -Wl,-rpath,/mnt/common/rh6/annotate/GCC/gcc-4.9.4/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.4/../../../../lib64 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,-export-dynamic  -pthread -fopenmp   -O

However the next "make" step fails. Below is the last lines of the error

I think this might have something to do with the version of RHEL (6.9) I am using. But I have changed the GCC versions to 4.9.4 and also to 5.5.0. Recommended is any version above 4.7.0. But it fails both times with the same error. I am trying to troubleshoot this for the past 2 weeks, but not getting anywhere. Need help and advice fixing this. I have tried the

make CXXFLAGS="-fpermissive"

and

make LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-as-needed"

options as suggested in some blogs. Unsuccessful. I have not tried both together though. In any case I need help

Thanks Abhijit

As indicated in the compiling binaries page, you probably need to get the old blast (v. 2.2.19) and compile that. Interproscan many not be compatible with the latest blast+.

Answer 1

[Michael Schubert]

The error is related to a change in behaviour between gcc 4.5 and 4.6. I assume your laptop had 4.5 and your desktop 4.6.

Try adding -fpermissive to your CXXFLAGS.

[Heidi]

I apologize if this was the wrong place to post my question, but I appreciate the responses. Adding -fpermissive solved the errors, thank you!
