  • compiling of cufflinks failed due to bamlib error

    Hi there,

    I know this issue has been addressed already in the instructions and also in some other forums. However, since I don't get it resolved after spending loads of time I hope someone can help me sorting out my problem:

    I am trying to compile the latest version of cufflinks (2.2.1) according to instructions given here http://cole-trapnell-lab.github.io/c...tting_started/ but I end up with the error

    checking for bamlib... configure: error: We could not detect the bam libraries (version or higher). If you have a staged bam library (still not installed) please specify $BAM_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-bam option. If you are sure you have bam installed, then check your version number looking in <bam/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/bam for more documentation.

    From the instructions and having a look into the configure file I understand that in the first place the standard location /usr/local is searched for the samtools files which have to be organised as follows


    /usr/local/include/bam #has to contain the header files *.h
    /usr/local/lib #has to contain libbam.a

    and the samtools binary needs to go somewhere in $PATH .

    Since I only can do local installations I generated a folder in my home /home/group/user/:

    /home/group/user/bin/samtools

    and set up the structure described above:

    /home/group/user/bin/samtools
    /home/group/user/bin/samtools/lib containing the libbam.a file
    /home/group/user/bin/samtools/include/bam containing all the header files

    then added the directory to PATH by:

    export PATH=$PATH:/home/group/user/bin/samtools

    and executed configure using

    ./configure --prefix=/home/group/user/cufflinks/src/ --with-eigen=/home/group/user/Eigen/

    and get the following output:

    bash-4.2$ ./configure --prefix=/home/group/user/cufflinks/src/ --with-eigen=/home/group/user/Eigen/

    I really tried everything suggested in the forums such setting the BAM_ROOT variable but I cannot work out what the problem is!

    Can you please help? I am sure there is something stupid I am missing and and blind for after countless times of trying...

    Many thanks!

    I am having the same issues, installing at root, even after following instructions I found for dealing with the problem. I also tried installing with homebrew and got the same error:

    ==> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/cufflinks/2.2.1 --mandir=/usr/local/Cellar/cufflinks/2.2.
    checking for python platform... darwin
    checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.7/site-packages
    checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.7/site-packages
    checking for boostlib >= 1.47.0... yes
    checking for bamlib... configure: error: We could not detect the bam libraries (version or higher). If you have a staged bam library (still not installed) please specify $BAM_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-bam option. If you are sure you have bam installed, then check your version number looking in <bam/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/bam for more documentation.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated!

      Installing current samtools already results in a "correct" directory structure with 'include', 'lib' etc.

      1) put samtools in bin or install current samtools and export path to
      export /path/to/samtools/bin:$PATH
      2) configure, pointing to lib dir,
      export CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/eigen/include/eigen3"

      ./configure --prefix=/path/to/cufflinks/2.2.1 --with-boost=/path/to/boost --with-bam=/path/to/samtools/lib --with-eigen=/path/to/eigen
      [...]
      checking for boostlib >= 1.47.0... yes
      checking for bamlib... yes
      checking for eigenlib... yes
      [...]
      This should at least make configure work ...

      best,
      Sven

        Additional procedure is necessary.

        Furthermore, you need an additional step.
        You need to copy version.h to version.hpp.

        $ cp /to/path/samtools/include/bam/version.h /to/path/samtools/include/bam/version.hpp

        My issue is sorted out by the above procedure.

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
