    BWA installation problems

    After downloading bwa-0.5.6.tar.bz2, I used the following command to untar.

    Code:
    tar -xvf bwa-0.5.6.tar.bz2 
    cd bwa-0.5.6
    The INSTALL documents require us to r un the following three commands to install

    Code:
    ./configure; 
    make;
     make install'
    But there are no ./configure command available. Only configure.in and config.h.in are available. Hence I started with the second command "make".

    Can anyone tell me the steps involved in installation? Thanks.

    Try running 'sh ./autogen.sh'. This should create the configure script for you, so long as you have the GNU autotools package installed.

    Code:
    cd bwa-0.5.6
    sh ./autogen.sh
    ./configure
    make
    This works for me in Ubuntu 9.10 (64bit)

      Just type "make" and copy the "bwa" binary anywhere you want.

          I have another bwa installation problem. I installed bwa on 3 different Mac.
          One is a 64 bit intel dual-core. I did what you said here, it runs just fine.
          The second one is a PowerMac G5 dual-core 32bit. There was an error if I just type "make". So I edited two places in Makefile, changing 64 to 32. It worked and bwa runs fine.
          The third one is a PowerMac G5 single core 32bit. Again I did the same thing as the other 32 bit Mac. "make" runs through without error message. However, when I tried to run "bwa aln ...". It sends an error message "calculate SA coordinates: Segmentation fault" and quits.

          Any idea how to fix this?
          Thanks.

            It is possible that bwa does not work on a big-endian CPU (x86 is little-endian while powerpc is big-endian). I have not tried.

              Segmentation fault - installation problem of BWA?

              Hi,

              Am I facing the installation problem of bwa-0.5.9rc1, as I am getting the following error:

              [bwa_index] Pack FASTA... 68.61 sec
              [bwa_index] Reverse the packed sequence... 20.18 sec

                Similar (?) iMAC BWA install difficulties

                Snowlion (10.6.8)
                Downloaded bwa-0.6.0.tar.bz2 (129.9 kB)

                ./configure generates the error "No such file or directory"
                as does sh: ./autogen.sh (not sure whether there is a Mac equivalent of this GNU Libtool?)

                and make throws the following errors:

                gcc -c -g -Wall -O2 -DHAVE_PTHREAD bntseq.c -o bntseq.o
                bntseq.c: In function ‘bwa_fa2pac’:
                bntseq.c:275: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘getopt’
                bntseq.c:280: error: ‘optind’ undeclared (first use in this function)
                bntseq.c:280: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
                bntseq.c:280: error: for each function it appears in.)

                and doesn't compile. Can anyone offer any advice?

                  Did you run "sh: ./autogen.sh"? If so, you should remove the ":". I use BWA on Intel Macs and it runs fine. Let me know if you have more trouble.

                    As mentioned in the bio-bwa-help mailing list:

                    put "#include <unistd.h>" at the beginning of "bntseq.c"

                    After that use only "make" and all should be fine

                      The include resolved it. Thanks (also to Genericforms) :-)

                            You need to point to libz.a or libz.so (zlib library file name).

                                Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
                                by SEQadmin2


                                I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


                                Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

                                From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
                                by SEQadmin2


                                Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


                                The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
