to whom it may concern,
Hello, i am a new samtools user and i am having trouble installing the package
on my ubuntu 16.4 virtual machine (installed in a windows 7 host machine).
I have read the INSTALL script written in the samtools main folder after
downloading samtools from http://www.htslib.org/download/ .
as required, i have installed the required packages: zlib, bzip2, liblzma, and
ncurses, after browsing for the correct versions required for the ubuntu 16.4
environment. The instalation of such packages was made through the following
scripts:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev
sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev
i ran as well ./configure as suggested, in order to verify all the parameters
were correct
after that i ran the command "make" as the basic installation demands, and it
all went well, but the trouble came when i gave the last "make install"
command, it gave me an error, which i write on the following lines:
mkdir -p -m755 /usr/local/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/man/man1
mkdir: cannot create directory ´/usr/local/share/man/man´: Permission denied
Makefile:292: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 1
this last error follows even if i specify any other folder or whatsoever, i
think i followed the instructions correctly, but at the end it seems that i
need to do something else before giving the last "make install" command. Any
help with that error would be greatly appreciated. I need to install samtools
successfuly in order to get to make an analysis on my thesis research.
Kind regards
Ricardo Fong
