HOW TO INSTALL maq

[kyle]

I am a linux learner and now trying to install MAQ on it. Do you guys know how to do it correctly? Should I download a maq-0.7.1.tar.bz2 first and then unzip it in a folder, then use that
./configure; make; make install
command?

I fail to do it?
Can you guys give me a hint?
thanks

What linux distribution are you using?

[kyle]

oops, I do not know the distribution.
I use a ssh to connect a linux pc, latitude, it says
'Latitude is a Sun Grid Engine Cluster
(SGE Cluster).'

wow

Hmm. No idea, not only am I new to bioinformatics I'm new to Linux as well. Double whammy.

Try this in the terminal:
cat /etc/issue

It should tell you the distribution you are using.

My terminal:
bldf2b@kc-bio-bsb319debian:~$ cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 \n \l

Hi
The last Ubuntu version for 64bits includes in sources a MAQ debian package, ready thus for aptitude/apt-get installation (if you have SU access however). As Ubuntu is based on Debian, it exists also probably in debian repository. it would then be the best way (and easier).

Hello Dear,
After installing MAQ by typing Sudo apt-get install.maq at UBUNTO in linux platform do I need to compile and make for running the program.
