Hello,
My computing resource department doesn't seem to want to update the GCC compiler on our server to version >4.7, so I can't compile the latest Allpaths-LG genome assembler and use it. They suggest that I try to make a static binary on a separate computer with GCC 4.7 and then transfer it onto the server.
It seems to me that making Allpaths-LG into a static binary would not be possible because Allpaths-LG calls several modules during the assembly process. Has anyone tried to make a static binary of a program like Allpaths-LG? Is there a specific reason that I can tell my computing department why this wouldn't work? Thanks!
