DELLY Running error(error while loading shared libraries: libboost_iostreams.so.1.53.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Question

[lee.jingu0626]

When I running the DELLY, there are error about libbost_iostreams.so.1.53.0

./src/delly: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_iostreams.so.1.53.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is the error message. I check that libboost_iostreams.so.1.53.0 is in boost_1_53_0/stage/lib

So I think DELLY can't find that file or DELLY and boost con't connect each other.

How can I fix it?

This is a runtime error. It means DELLY cannot find a library it needs. If you globally install BOOST or set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH the problem will be resolved.

You can download and run delly's latest static binary from here:

https://github.com/dellytools/delly/releases/

go to the folder containing the file (~/downloads or custom) and do

chmod +x delly_v0.8.1_linux_x86_64bit

To run it, simply do ./delly_v0.8.1_linux_x86_64bit

You can also find delly singularity image in the same github page above, if you have singularity installed.
