Which version of Ubuntu? 32bit? 64bit?
What is the exact error message you get?
Here on 12.10 (64bit) using 2.3.2-4 I encounter no problems. -
Ubuntu 12.04
Ubuntu 12.04. 64 bit Error is that when i try to execute ./fastq-dump, cannot be executed is comingComment

Just like this (not real):
bin $ ./fastq-dump
Cannot be executed
Please post a correct error message along with your command you executed.
Is this also true for other programs in bin?Last edited by sklages; 04-16-2013, 12:49 PM.Comment

yes this type of error is coming for other bin files too.Comment

hmm, looks like the sra toolkit which you have downloaded has not been compiled for your system.
I didn't see any 32bit SRA Toolkit archives, so I assume you have dowloaded the 64bit archive.
So your Ubuntu system is very likely a 32bit system; what do you get with:
uname -mComment

i686 comes when i type uname -mComment

yes i have downloaded 64 bit archive of SRA Toolkit 2.3.2Comment

Should i have to download 32 bit version ??Comment

So you have a 32bit system (though you wrote to have a 64bit system).
You cannot execute 64bit software on 32bit systems. As there is no 32bit SRA toolkit binary available for download you could either try to compile the toolkit from source on your 32bit system (be prepared to run into problems) or simply set up a new system, Ubuntu 64bit.
When dealing with big datasets, or with software for big datasets, it is not a bad idea to have a 64bit system for your analyses.
addendum: I see that Ubuntu holds a 32bit version of an older version of SRA toolkit, http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/science/sra-toolkit. Might be of interest for you.Last edited by sklages; 04-16-2013, 01:31 PM.Comment

Oh, thank you for your guide lines. But i have a doubt regarding reinstalling on a hard disk i.e., i heard that re-installing OS on a hard disk may effect hard disk. Is it true ? Because i have already installed twice. So please clarify this doubt. Thank youComment

That's funny, never heard about that :-)Originally posted by shrujan View Post
Don't worry, this is simply not true. I install twice a year a new version of some linux on my notebook, .. it is still alive ;-)Comment

Thank you. Its a great pleasure sharing views and issues. I will try installing 64 bit version, if it doesn't work i will ping you up. Thanks again

SRA Toolkit error
Hi, as you said earlier i have reinstalled with 64 bit ubuntu 12.04 LTS OS and tried to run SRAToolkit.2.3.2 again. But same error message is repeated as
shrujan@ubuntu:~/Programs/sratoolkit.2.3.2/bin$ ./fastq-dump
bash: ./fastq-dump: No such file or directory
Please resolve this.
Thank you.Comment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
