an error when using cufflinks

[masylichu]

hi.
i have installed samtools and boost librarires.
after that, i download the cufflinks source code because my linux is 32-bit.

Everything went fine. However, when I tested using cufflinks test_data.sam, the following error message appears.

cufflinks: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_thread.so.1.44.0: cann
ot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems that cufflinks is not seeing the shared object file. However, when I ran the configure, it said as the following:
checking whether the Boost::Thread library is available... yes

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

I have the same problem.
Did anyone manage to get this fixed?

Or explain what the problem is?

Hi,

What Linux are you running? I would start by checking the libraries cufflinks is compiled to require by running:

ldd /path/to/cufflinks

And the location of the installed boost libraries with:

ldconfig -p | grep boost

Post the output of those if you can.

Thanks for the response.

What Linux are you running?

$ cat /proc/version 
Linux version 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5.pdc5noib (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44))

My setup is a homefolder on afs and I'm trying to run cufflinks on a cluster.

I would start by checking the libraries cufflinks is compiled to require by running:

I actually tried to make a local install of boost in $HOME/boost/ and compile cufflinks with the --with-boost and --with-bam flags.
However it does'nt seem to reflect that in the output of the commands.

Thanks for the help.

If you want to use your local installation of boost, I would try:

env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/boost /path/to/cufflinks

This should tell the loader to look for the library in your home directory before the rest of the system.

You might also try installing the libboost-devel RPM and recompiling cufflinks with that.
