    zlib problem in Samtools compilation

    Hi,

    Recently, I upgraded several of our cluster's RHEL packages for a new library that I wanted to use. One of these was Samtools, another was zlib.

    In order to recover from some of the problems with the installation, I decided to reinstall samtools-0.1.19, and downgrade the zlib installation.

    Our zlib.so is version 1.2.3, but I'm not sure what it was before being upgraded. The latest is 1.2.8 and I've read that this caused problem when compiling samtools. So I think this needs to be downgraded.

    Second, I am no longer able to compile samtools from any version, eg 0.1.18 or 0.1.19. The errors are shown below at the very bottom of the output. The issue seems to be an invalid reference to gzopen64 from the zlib library.

    Has anyone run into this problem before? What would you suggest to clean up this mess. We need to recover the samtools binary soon.

    Thanks for any help you can supply.
    Cheers,

    Joe White

      How I fixed my gzopen64 issue

      1. Download/compile/install zlib 1.2.8 from source
      Code:
       ./configure && make && make install
      2. vim ./Makefile <-- edit the make file
      3. replace all -lz with the variable $(ZLIB)
      Code:
      :s/-lz/$(ZLIB)/g
      4. Add near the top under LDLIBS=
      Code:
      ZLIB = -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lz
      5. save/quit
      Code:
      :wq!
      6. make

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
