Getting FASTX installed

[Seta]

Hello,

I'm new to sequence analysis and I have barcoded Illumina sequences which I want to split into different files. I already tried to install FASTX to do this, but I get constantly the next error when I want to configure:

checking for GTEXTUTILS... configure: error: Package requirements (gtextutils) were not met:

No package 'gtextutils' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTEXTUTILS_CFLAGS
and GTEXTUTILS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I've followed the instructions on the http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_tool...nfig_email.txt mail, but that doen't work.
So what are GTEXTUTILS and how can I solve this problem? Is there otherwise anyother program that I can use to split barcoded sequences?

Thanks

You need to look at the installation man page at:

http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/install_centos.txt

following the instructions.

I use this if you dont have pkg-config, you'll have to set the environment variables they describe in the help.

# fastx for read trimming.
FASTX_VERSION=0.0.13
mkdir -p fastx && cd fastx
wget [url]http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/libgtextutils-0.6.tar.bz2[/url]
bunzip2 libgtextutils-0.6.tar.bz2 && tar xvf libgtextutils-0.6.tar
cd libgtextutils-0.6 && ./configure && make && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig
cd ../
sudo apt-get install pkg-config && sudo pkg-config
wget http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/fastx_toolkit-${FASTX_VERSION}.tar.bz2
bunzip2 fastx_toolkit-${FASTX_VERSION}.tar.bz2
tar xvf fastx_toolkit-${FASTX_VERSION}.tar
cd fastx_toolkit-${FASTX_VERSION} && ./configure && make && sudo make install

Having the same problem, trying to resolve in different ways but noting working

Hi there,
I was trying to install this tool in my centos7 workstation but having problem. I tried to google and also tried all the possible solution but nothing works. I tried the code by "brentp" but getting the following error. code:

# fastx for read trimming.
FASTX_VERSION=0.0.13
mkdir -p fastx && cd fastx
wget http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_tool...ls-0.6.tar.bz2
bunzip2 libgtextutils-0.6.tar.bz2 && tar xvf libgtextutils-0.6.tar
cd libgtextutils-0.6 && ./configure && make && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig 
...
... 

Whenever I try sudo make install it gave me:

ter.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/pipe_fitter.o
pipe_fitter.c: In function ‘pipe_close’:
pipe_fitter.c:30:6: error: variable ‘i’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]

I also tried the instructions here:

http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastx_toolkit/install_centos.txt 

but its not working.
Is there any solution there??
Thanks in advance.

Best regards
Zillur

There are likely more current/better alternatives to fastx. What exactly you need from fastx package?

BTW: The errors you posted are not very informative with all "warnings" being treated as errors.
