Install Newbler 2.9 in Ubuntu

[brymerr921]

Hey everyone,

I am trying to install the Data_Analysis2.9 package in Ubuntu 13.04. I am very new to Ubuntu and Newbler, but am trying to get this to work.

Here is what I have done so far:
1. Download DataAnalysis_2.9_All_20130530_1559.tgz
2. Extract the *.tgz file to a folder on my desktop called "DataAnalysis_2.9_All"
3. Open terminal, and run

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

4. From the bottom directory, type

sudo ln -s /bin/true /bin/rocks 

(sudo ln -s /bin/true ~/bin/rocks didn't work.)
5. Type

sudo apt-get install alien

6. Type

ln -l /bin/sh 

returns

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Aug 12 18:29 /bin/sh -> bash 

7. In /Desktop/DataAnalysis_2.9_All, type

sudo ./setup.sh 

Then I get this error in the log file:

This looks like the same error discussed at http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20588, yet I can't get this to install. Thanks!

Did you try the code in post #5 from the thread that you have linked to? If you did then what do you see when you run the following?

$ ls -l /bin/sh

[brymerr921]

I did the following commands:

[email protected]:~$ sudo rm /bin/sh
[sudo] password for bryan:
[email protected]:~$ sudo ln -s bash /bin/sh
[email protected]:~/Desktop/DataAnalysis_2.9_All$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Aug 12 19:35 /bin/sh -> bash

I then tried to run setup.sh from Terminal and got the same error.

[GenoMax]

That looks right. I wonder if you have a problem with your $PATH variable (i.e. /bin is not in that path, it seems unlikely).

What is the output of

$ echo $PATH

[brymerr921]

Here is what appears:
[email protected]:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
[email protected]:~$

[GenoMax]

That again looks right. Not sure what to ask you to try next. In case no one from the west coast helps further tonight we can look at this tomorrow.

Hi brymerr,

I am actually not sure but I think you have not to use

 sudo ./setup.sh

. Try it without sudo, as my experience was that I could install 2.7 only locally and for this you don't need sudo.

The link you created for bash did not work for root -- maybe.

I had the same issue. It's just because /bin/sh is not in the rpm database. To get round this I installed the STLinux "provides" RPM. This populates the database without installing anything and this happens to include /bin/sh:

Information: http://stlinux.com/install/ubuntu
Pick the latest version from here: http://download.stlinux.com/pub/stlinux/2.4/misc/

Simply do a:

rpm -ivh --force-debian stlinux24<version>.rpm

and then

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo ln -s /bin/true /bin/rocks
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/lspci /sbin/lspci
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash   (select no)
sudo ./setup.sh

It should install without any problems.

Which one is the latest STLinux

I saw this list, but which one should I pick?

I assumed the last one,

stlinux24-host-STLinux_deps-20140120-1.i386.rpm

and installed it. The problem is still there. Any idea? Thanks!

hello,
I have a local installation of newbler but here the error message:

Warning: One or more of the following libraries was not found

   zlib.i386, libXi.i386, libXtst.i386, libXaw.i386

Without these libraries, 454 Life Sciences software may not run correctly.  Consult the product documentation for more information.

could you help me?
thankyou

What flavor of unix/linux are you running?

Here is a relevant thread that will help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1624351 See post #3.
