  • Error installing vcftools

    Hi! I downloaded the latest vcftools, moved it into my desktop file, then commanded:
    tar -zxvf vcftools_0.1.8a.tar.gz
    cd vcftools_0.1.8a
    make

    However, I received the following error:

    make[1]: Entering directory `/home/lab/Desktop/linux files/vcftools_0.1.8a/cpp'
    g++ -O2 -Wall -Wextra vcftools.cpp vcf_file.cpp vcf_entry.cpp vcf_entry_getters.cpp vcf_entry_setters.cpp vcf_file_filters.cpp vcf_file_output.cpp vcf_file_format_convert.cpp vcf_file_diff.cpp parameters.cpp vcf_file_index.cpp output_log.cpp -o vcftools -lz

    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lab/Desktop/linux files/vcftools_0.1.8a/cpp'
    cd: 2: can't cd to perl
    make: *** [install] Error 2

    Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks!

    It's possible that the space in "/home/lab/Desktop/linux files" is making trouble. Remove the space, or move the vcftools_0.1.8a directory to the Desktop, and try again.

        Trouble installing vcf tools

        Hello,
        I downloaded vcf tools in my Mac. I had to download make, Tabix and vcf tools. I put the path for the perl directories in these two directories in my PATH variable. I ran make without error msgs. When I go into my vcftools and type per/test.t I am getting this msg.

        SARASHOMENWerl saras$ test.t
        Can't locate Test/Most.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Users/saras/src/vcftools_0.1.8a/perl /saras/vcftools/perl /Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0 /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0 /Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.10.0 /Network/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.10.0 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0 .) at /Users/saras/src/vcftools_0.1.8a/perl/test.t line 17.

        What is missing ? Please help. Thanks.

          Trouble installing vcftools on a mac

          Hi everyone,
          I've got a similar problem as Saras and would really appreciate some help.

          I've downloaded vcftools to my /opt/local/bin directory (Mac), unpacked it, and have typed "make" in the vcftools folder. All but two lines in the output look good, however the two "problem" lines already show that something didn't work properly:

          cp: /opt/local/bin/vcftools_0.1.10/perl/fill-rsIDs: No such file or directory
          cp: /opt/local/bin/vcftools_0.1.10/perl/vcf-filter: No such file or directory

          When I try to run the test.t script with the following command:

          /opt/local/bin/vcftools_0.1.10/perl/test.t

          I get the following error message:

          Can't locate Test/Most.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/local/bin/vcftools_0.1.10/perl /lib /Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.12 /Network/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.12 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.12.4 /System/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.12 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.12 .) at /opt/local/bin/vcftools_0.1.10/perl/test.t line 17.
          BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/local/bin/vcftools_0.1.10/perl/test.t line 17.

          Has anyone run into something like this?

          Thanks in advance for any help.

            Hi again, I've now got the first few problems solved:

            cp: /opt/local/bin/vcftools_0.1.10/perl/fill-rsIDs: No such file or directory
            cp: /opt/local/bin/vcftools_0.1.10/perl/vcf-filter: No such file or directory

            can be fixed if you "touch" the files fill-rsIDs and vcf-filter... the files don't do anything, but there is no error message anymore.

            Apparently the test.t executable doesn't work unless the the Test::Most package (perl) is installed. This can be installed using "cpan":
            1) export PERL5LIB=/path/to/your/installation/perl
            2) cpanm Test::Most
            3) cpan App::cpanminus

            Unfortunately I still can't get test.t to run smoothly....
            here the last 3 lines of output....

            # Looks like you planned 74 tests but ran 9.
            # Looks like you failed 6 tests of 9 run.
            # Looks like your test exited with 2 just after 9.

              Hello CowGirl,

              I had the same issues with the two missing files. Thanks for suggesting the 'touch' fix, as it seems to have fixed the problem (fingers crossed)!

              In case you are still looking for a method to test the program: I found a fantastic website which gives really nice instructions on how to install all of the programs needed to run vcftools (g++, zlib, tabix, vcftools) and also contains a method for testing tabix and vcftools at the end of the page. See the following link:

              Getting Genetics Done (GGD) is a blog with tips, reviews, tutorials, and pointers to relevant literature in genetics and bioinformatics research.

                Hey LML,
                thanks for the tip. I can't take credit for the "touch" strategy (a big "Thank you" to the colleaugues in Austria!).
                Unforunately I've already installed everything else (i.e. g++, zlib, tabix, vcftools) "the hard way" ;-) , but I'm sure others will find the information useful as well. Cheers

                  Hi all,

                  I have encountered an error when install vcftools version 9, 10 and 11 as following, but successfully for version 4a.

                  I also searched the problem "warning: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'" and got this web page:


                  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

                    What version of zlib do you have currently installed? The "gz*" undefined references would point to absence (or presence of an older) version of zlib.

                      thanks GenoMax,

                      I have compiled successfully in another node, it seems caused by the absence of libz version.

                      Thank you.

                        Hey

                        I also have problems installing vcftools. More precisely:
                        I executed the test.t script, as suggested, and could solve nearly all problems instead vcf-stats

                            you're missing the C++ compiler.

                            If you're on a debian-based distro just do
                            Code:
                            sudo apt-get install g++
                            and try again.
