Error after installation of AGAT

Question

[L_bioinfo]

I succesfully installed AGAT tools using conda.

Command: conda create agat -c conda-forge -c bioconda agat

It showed all the packages and dependencies. Installation was successful yet when I initate agat in the activated agat environment I get

perl: symbol lookup error: /var/bin/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Sub/Name/Name.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck                                                                      

Please suggest what could be a potential way out of this error.

Could you try which perl to see if it is the perl from Conda that is used?

[L_bioinfo]

I tried which perl:

/home2/Lau/.local/miniconda3/envs/H_majoris_alignment/bin/perl

which is my current environment where agat was installed

[barslmn]

/var/bin/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Sub/Name/Name.so

This path also looks kinda weird. Why is there a bin directory under /var and why is there a Perl lib under it?

Could you also run ls /var and env | grep -i perl?

[L_bioinfo]

env | grep -i perl

Yes there is bin under var directory and it has perl5

This is from your original post:

perl: symbol lookup error: /var/bin/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Sub/Name/Name.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck

Directory x86_64-linux-thread-multi has a hyphen between thread and multi.

This is from your env variable:

PERL5LIB=/home2/Lau/perl5/lib/perl5:/var/bin/perl5/lib/perl5:/var/bin/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread multi:

Directory x86_64-linux-thread multi has a space between thread and multi.

What is the name of this directory? Did you set the PERL5LIB manually?

Could you export this export PERL5LIB="/var/bin/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi:$PERL5LIB" before activating your environment.

[L_bioinfo]

Apologies. It doesn't have space, I couldn't edit it when the content was copied and pasted. I already have perl in my environment incase if I export from root won't it cause conflicts.root has perl -v : 5.16

My conda environment has perl -v: 5.32

Could you check the bioperl version now? perl -MBio::Root::Version -e 'print "$Bio::Root::Version::VERSION\n"'

[L_bioinfo]

1.006924 is the version I got after running the command you suggested.
