HI, I've build EMBOSS on numerous vertsion of Ubuntu before but this one got me stumped... I am testing an EMBOSS 6.4.0 build on an Ubuntu 11.04 VM under VirtualBox, pretty much as I have done before and I end up with an oddity (may be the problem) and a make failure. First the oddity: running the install-jemboss-server.sh script, I get this:
------------------------- WARNING ---------------------------- The script cannot find zlib installed under /usr or /usr/local Download zlib from http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/ For details see the EMBOSS admin guide: http://emboss.sourceforge.net/admin/ To exit use Control C or press return to continue. -------------------------------------------------------------- This is weird because I know that zlibc, zlib1g and zlib1g-dev packages are present. Ok, I press return and the configure/make dance started. After a few minutes, make crashes with this message: ../ajax/core/.libs/libajax.so: undefined reference to `crypt' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [aaindexextract] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/bio/sources/EMBOSS-6.4.0/emboss' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/bio/sources/EMBOSS-6.4.0/emboss' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Any clue on this? I couldn't find any lead looking at the mailing list archive...
