Hi all, almost total newbie here. Slowly getting the hang of it. So, in a burst of enthusiasm, I decided to
1) Learn a new operating system
2) Learn a new programming language
3) assemble the entire genome of an organism on a desktop computer
So far getting my *** kicked.
I am installing a program called SolexaQA which tells you how good your genome sequencing run was (bio-geek talk, don't worry about it).
It requires dependent programs, one of which is matrix2png. matrix2png in turn is dependent on GD, or libgd. I thought I had installed libdg with
sudo apt-get install php5-gdseems to work ok.
so then go to the directory where matrix2png is
cd /home/<user>/matrix2png-1.2then
./configureand configure starts, does its thing, then says
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for sin in -lm... yes
checking for main in -lpng... yes
checking for main in -lz... yes
checking for gdImageCreate in -lgd... no
configure: error: You need to have libgd installed and findable by the configure script
See `config.log' for more details.so what am I doing wrong? Is GD and libgd the same thing? is libgd installed and I just have to tell configure how to find it? am I doing something fundamentally wrong?
remember almost total newbie here
