augustus installation with conda

Question

[Shakunthala Natarajan]

I created a conda environment and installed augustus in it. When I cd into the conda environment folder and type ./bin/augustus for running augustus an error shows up as follows:

./bin/augustus: error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can someone please help me with this?

Thank you!

Did you activate the conda environment (conda activate <augustusenv>)? If so, you shouldn't need to change to the environments bin folder either.

Thank you. This worked.

I'd try creating a fresh env which has only augustus + gsl=2.5 (from the conda-forge channel).

[Shakunthala Natarajan]

Fine. I will try this out. Thank you.

This issue Install augustus from source without root privileges may be relevant?
