I'm trying to install a bioinformatics tool, called Daccord on my Mac.
Unfortunately my computer savvy is very limited and my troubleshooting is pretty much trial and error.
The README says:
daccord needs libmaus2 https://github.com/gt1/libmaus2. libmaus2 needs to be built with support for the GMP library. When libmaus2 is installed in ${LIBMAUSPREFIX} then daccord can be compiled and installed in ${HOME}/daccord using
autoreconf -i -f ./configure --with-libmaus2=${LIBMAUSPREFIX} \ --prefix=${HOME}/daccord make install
I did install libmaus2
(at least I hope I did), I also installed GMP, but I have no idea whether libmaus2
was "built with support for the GMP library".
My guess is that I have to replace ${LIBMAUSPREFIX}
with the right path?
Maybe ${HOME}
too.
I tried /usr/local/bin
because the libmaus-README said:
By default, make install installs the package's commands under /usr/local/bin, include files under /usr/local/include, etc.
I also tried the path of the libmaus
release file.
So far the result is always:
configure: error: Package requirements (libmaus2 >= 2.0.352) were not met:
No package 'libmaus2' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libmaus2_CFLAGS
and libmaus2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Now, I additionally tried to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH using
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/lib contains libmaus2 and a lot of other files starting with libmaus2 so I would guess that's the right path. But
./configure --with-libmaus2=/usr/local/lib --prefix=${HOME}/daccord
or
./configure --with-libmaus2=${LIBMAUSPREFIX} --prefix=${HOME}/daccord
Still results in the error mentioned above.
Would be great if someone could give me a few pointers as to how to proceed.
