Compiling bowtie 1.0.0 from source

[EGrassi]

I feel stupid about this as long as I cannot believe that nobody has met this problem until now. I'm trying to compile bowtie 1.0.0 from source on a "vanilla linux" with gcc and I am encountering strange problems.
First error reported by make:

ebwt_build.cpp:5:25: fatal error: seqan/index.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Then I tried to install the seqan development libraries on my pc (the seqan-dev debian package) but I encontered some conflict resolution problems about C++ templates further on while compiling.

Puzzled enough reading around I then found out that bowtie got into its source zip file SeqAn1.1 libraries some times ago but that those files are missing in the 1.0.0 zip...getting the SeqAn1.1 directory from the 0.12.6 bowtie zip I was able to compile bowtie successfully...but I'm wondering if I'm the only one that faced this problem after trying to compile bowtie1.0.0 (I am aware of the existence of bowtie2 and the binary packages...I just need to be able to compile from source bowtie1 and I would like to understand what I am supposed to do with SeqAn).

Thanks,
E.

This version was released just 2 days ago so it is not surprising you may be the first one to encounter this problem (I hope you have also emailed the authors so they can fix the source tarball).

Thanks for saving some time for the rest of us

Wooops! I didn't notice the release date Thanks. I wrote to the SourceForge mailing list so hopefully a developer will notice it and fix the zip.

Thanks!
