Did you use bjam to build Boost? You can find instructions here: http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/tutorial.html

But anyway, this didn't work for me in the end. It would seem that cufflinks doesn't compile properly on a 32 bit system, so I used a MacBook (to run a few tests) and a 64 bit system (to do the actual analysis) instead.

finding boost package in cufflinks

Hi all

The discussion is ended abruptly with out any answer
I was installed boost and bjam and built them on usr\local and after that ran ./configure but it is not detecting boost libraries.
i have added boost libraries to path also.

Then I ran ./configure in the cufflinks directory, which gave errors (the Boost package was not found).

PS:I'm using 32 bit computer and downloaded 32 bit boost packages

Thanks BioTalk, unfortunately I don't have a 64 bit system available right now, so I'll have to think of something else...

[BioTalk]

I too experienced the same kind of problem with Cufflinks in 32 bit system. It was a problem because of 32 bit OS, as the binary available for 32 bit is getting compiled into 64bit and therefore it is of no use. I would suggest you to install cufflinks in 64 bit machine.

Thanks!

I seem to be having the same problem. I am trying to install Cufflinks on a 32 bit Linux system, for which there are no pre-compiled binaries available (only 64 bit). I successfully built the Boost package using bjam, as instructed on the Getting Started page of Cufflinks.
Then I ran ./configure in the cufflinks directory, which gave no obvious errors (the Boost package was found, too). However, when I run 'make' there are several error messages that I don't understand (see below). Specially the '-m64' argument is suspicious, does this mean that it is trying to compile in 64 bit mode? I don't have enough experience with Linux to know how to proceed.
How did other people do this? Or is everyone using a 64 bit system? I have none available, as far as I know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks..

Thank you everyone for the help.

Have you solved this problem? I didn't hear from you any more:-)

[BioTalk]

Thank you everyone for the help.

Last time I successfully installed Cufflinks using the option --with-boost=/PATH/TO/BOOST/ROOT when configuring. I give my solution here.

1. get the path to boost root, in which there are at least two dirs: include and lib
2. cd into the dir cufflinks-0.8.1
* type ./configure --with-boost=/PATH/TO/BOOST/ROOT
* type make
* type make install

Let me know if this trial fails.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I did not understand how 1st step works? i.e How to get a path to boost root. Also I searched boost folder, I found Lib Directory but can not see include directory in it. PLease let me know how this works.

Thank you.

[BioTalk]

Yes I downloaded boost library and try to add path to it with the command path=<home/path to the boost folder...>.

I do not know if there is anything else I need to do!

Thank you

Hey Guys,

I am still not able to configure cufflinks. It is constantly throwing me an error eventhough I downloaded and latest version of boost and tryed to add it to its path:

The error is: "We could not detect the boost library(version1.38 or higher). If you have a stages boost library(still not installed) please specify $boost_root in your envireonment and do not give a PATH to --with-bost option. IF you are sure you have boost installed, then check 7youe version number looking in<boost/version.hpp>"

I think I am doing some silly mistake but don't know what? PLease write stepwise command so that my cufflinks starts working...!!

The software requires the Boost library (C++). Did you download the library prior to try to configure the software?

For boost, download this file

http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.42.0/boost_1_42_0.tar.gz/download

And follow the instruction in the dir after untar the package.

[BioTalk]

* Download this package:

http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/downloads/cufflinks-0.8.1.tar.gz

* Untar the package
* cd the dir cufflinks-0.8.1
* type ./configure
* type make
* type make install

If no error, it is installed successfully.

Thanks Xi Wang. Looks like it is working but I got an error in the middle of installation that "We could not detect the boost lib with version 1.38 or higher."

So I tried to find Boost library for Linux, but it looks like there isn't any or probably any spececific out of the list.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/

Thank you.

32- Bit system..How can I try it?

Thank you

* Download this package:

http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/downloads/cufflinks-0.8.1.tar.gz

* Untar the package
* cd the dir cufflinks-0.8.1
* type ./configure
* type make
* type make install

If no error, it is installed successfully.
