bam-readcount installation problem: Linking CXX executable

Question

[user31888]

I am trying to filter false positives from a VarScan2 somatic variant call using the fpfilter program.

For that I need to install bam-headcount, but get the following error when invoking make (cmake seems to work fine):

$ cmake

Any idea?

Is there another way to filter false positives without read-bamcount (except processSomatic that I already used)? Or even another Somatic SNP + indeed caller than VarScan2 (except GATK MuTect2 that takes ages)?

Thanks for your help !

Note:

Linux version 2.6.32

EDIT:

It seemed that the program did not like my gcc compiler. Switching to g++ solved the issue.

export CXX=/path/to/g++
git clone https://github.com/genome/bam-readcount.git
cmake /path/to/bam-readcount/repo
make

Have you seen this post?

A: Installing Bam-Readcount

It requires a lot. An old version may be a problem.

Thanks Natasha. The gcc compiler was the problem (see EDIT above).
