lastz and yasra install problems

[LVAndrews]

Hello,

I am attempting to install lastz and yasra for plastid genome assembly, but am having problems. I downloaded lastz here:

http://www.bx.psu.edu/~rsharris/lastz/

and yasra v1 here:

http://www.bx.psu.edu/~ratan/archive/

I was informed by the user that they needed yasra v1 as later versions are not compatible with their pipeline. Anyway, I downloaded yasra first, but it didn't want to install, so I moved on to lastz. I issued:

sudo make

which produced some errors. I googled a bit, and found a thread here on seqanswers where it was suggested to go into the lastz makefile, and delete -Werror from line 31, and repeat install. It worked!

But then I tried to install yasra and it seems it is dependent on -Werror:

sudo make
make pipeline
make[1]: Entering directory `/bin/yasra'
gcc -W -Wformat -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wall -Werror -Wno-unused-variable -Wunused-parameter -Wreturn-type -Wpointer-arith -Wswitch -Wcast-align -Winline -Wnested-externs -Wextra -DNDEBUG -O2 -funroll-all-loops -minline-all-stringops -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -I. -c -o substitutions.o substitutions.c
substitutions.c: In function ‘main’:
substitutions.c:35:52: error: variable ‘match’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
substitutions.c:34:7: error: variable ‘old_seq_name’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[1]: *** [substitutions.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/bin/yasra'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I am doing all of this in my /bin directory since I can't seem to get new directories added permanently to my path (I only seem to know enough to cause trouble for myself and others), which is why I am using sudo with each command. I thought perhaps directory permissions were really the cause of my trouble, so I moved the lastz folder to my desktop and repeated the make command, but got the same problem output:

sudo make
cd src && make lastz lastz_D
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/enggen/Downloads/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/enggen/Downloads/lastz-distrib-1.02.00/src'
make: *** [build_lastz] Error 2

I am running 64bit Ubuntu 12.04, which may or may not place certain files in the same place as other linux distros.

Any ideas how to solve these problems?

lastz problem

same here also...

Did any you find the solution??

Thanks...

[amitbik]

i got the answer. it is actually posted by scami

1) Open the Makefile file within the src directory with a text editor
2) Delete the word -Werror at the line 31 . Save and quit
3) Repeat the make / make install procedure

By follwing this step i got the executable file.

I thought I had tried that previously, but the user went and tried the free version of Geneious and used that instead (pretty great assembler). Their lab wound up purchasing a license as did we. If I have future need for yasra/lastz, I'll give these instructions a try.

Hello,
(I only seem to know enough to cause trouble for myself and others), which is why I am using sudo with each command.

This is why there are such things as botnets.
