  • SAMtools install problem on curses.h

    I found several threads which mentioned same problem as mine. But none of their solutions help.

    I downloaded the most recent version of samtools, 0.1.14 and tried to install it on my redhat enterprise server 6. The error message I've got was:

    Code:
    gcc -c -g -Wall -O2  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_USE_KNETFILE -D_CURSES_LIB=1 -I. bam_tview.c -o bam_tview.o
    bam_tview.c:5:20: error: curses.h: No such file or directory
    bam_tview.c:7:2: warning: #warning "_CURSES_LIB=1 but NCURSES_VERSION not defined; tview is NOT compiled"
    bam_tview.c:418:2: warning: #warning "No curses library is available; tview is disabled."
    make[1]: *** [bam_tview.o] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/polymerase/myapp/samtools'
    make: *** [all-recur] Error 1
    It was suggested that my system may not install ncurse-lib (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthr...es.h#post13715). But I have that on my system:

    Code:
    # rpm -qa |grep curses
    ncurses-5.7-3.20090208.el6.x86_64
    ncurses-base-5.7-3.20090208.el6.x86_64
    ncurses-libs-5.7-3.20090208.el6.x86_64
    The other one suggested to modify "LIBCURSES= -lcurses" in Makefile into "LIBCURSES= -lncurses". (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6669). I did, but the problem still there.

    The last thread I can find suggested to "add -I/usr/include/ncurses to CFLAGS in the samtools Makefile" (http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7391), but it was for installing samtools on cygwin.

    Would you please help to see if anything else I can do for it? Thank you !

    Code:
    yum install ncurses-devel
    Installed ncurses-devel solved the problem.

    But another error appears:
    Code:
    gcc -g -Wall -O2  -o samtools bam_tview.o bam_maqcns.o bam_plcmd.o sam_view.o bam_rmdup.o bam_rmdupse.o bam_mate.o bam_stat.o bam_color.o bamtk.o kaln.o bam2bcf.o bam2bcf_indel.o errmod.o sample.o cut_target.o phase.o -Lbcftools  libbam.a -lbcf -lcurses  -lm -lz
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    make[1]: *** [samtools] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/polymerase/myapp/samtools'
    make: *** [all-recur] Error 1
    Don't know how to fix on it.

          Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
          by seqadmin



          The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

          Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
          by seqadmin



          Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
