RNAfold installation error

Question

[justa.dk]

Hey guys,

I've been trying to install RNAfold, however without any success. I've tried to follow the instructions t

ar xvvzf ViennaRNA-1.8.4.tar.gz
cd to the Vienna dir
 type   ./configure --prefix=your_path_to_Vienna/install_dir
 make
 make install

However the last two steps were not successful. While typing make, I got this

make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/scripts/justyna/ViennaRNA-1.8.4/RNAforester/g2-0.70'

Any idea what can be wrong? What can I change?

[Pierre Lindenbaum]

what your version of g++ ?

 g++ --version

vs wha'ts the required gcc version for Vienna ?

[justa.dk]

Thank you for the reply, Pierre! My g++ version : 4.8.4 So far, i can't find any info what version Vienna requires.

What would be your suggestion?

[GenoMax]

Latest g++ is v. 6.1. Can you at least upgrade to 5.x series and see if that helps. Do you have local admin rights? What OS are you using?

[Chenfei Zheng]

hey justa have you solved this problem yet ?

[h.mon]

Have you seen How to install the Vienna RNA Package on Ubuntu?
