Which version of Ubuntu? 32bit? 64bit?
What is the exact error message you get?
Here on 12.10 (64bit) using 2.3.2-4 I encounter no problems. -
Ubuntu 12.04
Ubuntu 12.04. 64 bit Error is that when i try to execute ./fastq-dump, cannot be executed is comingComment

Just like this (not real):
bin $ ./fastq-dump
Cannot be executed
Please post a correct error message along with your command you executed.
Is this also true for other programs in bin?Last edited by sklages; 04-16-2013, 12:49 PM.Comment

yes this type of error is coming for other bin files too.Comment

hmm, looks like the sra toolkit which you have downloaded has not been compiled for your system.
I didn't see any 32bit SRA Toolkit archives, so I assume you have dowloaded the 64bit archive.
So your Ubuntu system is very likely a 32bit system; what do you get with:
uname -mComment

i686 comes when i type uname -mComment

yes i have downloaded 64 bit archive of SRA Toolkit 2.3.2Comment

Should i have to download 32 bit version ??Comment

So you have a 32bit system (though you wrote to have a 64bit system).
You cannot execute 64bit software on 32bit systems. As there is no 32bit SRA toolkit binary available for download you could either try to compile the toolkit from source on your 32bit system (be prepared to run into problems) or simply set up a new system, Ubuntu 64bit.
When dealing with big datasets, or with software for big datasets, it is not a bad idea to have a 64bit system for your analyses.
addendum: I see that Ubuntu holds a 32bit version of an older version of SRA toolkit, http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/science/sra-toolkit. Might be of interest for you.Last edited by sklages; 04-16-2013, 01:31 PM.Comment

Oh, thank you for your guide lines. But i have a doubt regarding reinstalling on a hard disk i.e., i heard that re-installing OS on a hard disk may effect hard disk. Is it true ? Because i have already installed twice. So please clarify this doubt. Thank youComment

That's funny, never heard about that :-)Originally posted by shrujan View Post
Don't worry, this is simply not true. I install twice a year a new version of some linux on my notebook, .. it is still alive ;-)Comment

Thank you. Its a great pleasure sharing views and issues. I will try installing 64 bit version, if it doesn't work i will ping you up. Thanks again

SRA Toolkit error
Hi, as you said earlier i have reinstalled with 64 bit ubuntu 12.04 LTS OS and tried to run SRAToolkit.2.3.2 again. But same error message is repeated as
shrujan@ubuntu:~/Programs/sratoolkit.2.3.2/bin$ ./fastq-dump
bash: ./fastq-dump: No such file or directory
Please resolve this.
Thank you.Comment

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...Yesterday, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
