error on installing samtools on linux cluster

Question

[bsmith030465]

Hi,

I was trying to install samtools in my account on a linux cluster (x86_64 GNU/Linux). I downloaded the samtools tar.bz2 from http://www.htslib.org/download/ . After unzipping all the files, I cd into the directory and run 'make install'. However, I get an error:

[bsm@submit-3 samtools-1.4]$ make install cd htslib-1.4 && make lib-static make[1]: Entering directory /home/bsm/software/samtools-1.4/htslib-1.4' gcc -g -Wall -O2 -I. -c -o cram/cram_io.o cram/cram_io.c cram/cram_io.c:60:18: error: lzma.h: No such file or directory cram/cram_io.c: In function ‘lzma_mem_deflate’: cram/cram_io.c:865: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘lzma_stream_buffer_bound’ cram/cram_io.c:871: error: ‘LZMA_OK’ undeclared (first use in this function) cram/cram_io.c:871: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once cram/cram_io.c:871: error: for each function it appears in.) cram/cram_io.c:871: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘lzma_easy_buffer_encode’ cram/cram_io.c:871: error: ‘LZMA_CHECK_CRC32’ undeclared (first use in this function) cram/cram_io.c: In function ‘lzma_mem_inflate’: cram/cram_io.c:881: error: ‘lzma_stream’ undeclared (first use in this function) cram/cram_io.c:881: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘strm’ cram/cram_io.c:887: error: ‘LZMA_OK’ undeclared (first use in this function) cram/cram_io.c:887: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘lzma_stream_decoder’ cram/cram_io.c:887: error: ‘strm’ undeclared (first use in this function) cram/cram_io.c:887: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘lzma_easy_decoder_memusage’ cram/cram_io.c:902: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘lzma_code’ cram/cram_io.c:902: error: ‘LZMA_RUN’ undeclared (first use in this function) cram/cram_io.c:903: error: ‘LZMA_STREAM_END’ undeclared (first use in this function) cram/cram_io.c:915: error: ‘LZMA_FINISH’ undeclared (first use in this function) cram/cram_io.c:924: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘lzma_end’ make[1]: *** [cram/cram_io.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory/home/bsm/software/samtools-1.4/htslib-1.4' make: * [htslib-1.4/libhts.a] Error 2

what do I need to do?

thanks!

--sorry for the bad formatting! I don't know how I should correct it :(

In this thread scroll down and look up an answer that mentions issue #570. See if that fixes this issue.

Answer 1

[h.mon]

You are missing the lzma headers, and you need to install the development package for lzma. On Debian and Ubuntu, it is called liblzma-devel. You probably have to ask your sys admin to install it for you.

[GenoMax]

The dependency can be turned off as mentioned in this thread.
