Problem installing gossamer

[FraMatMan]

Hi all, I have a problem during the "make" part of gossamer installation.

I tried on two different systems (Ubuntu 17.10 with boost 1.58, and CentOS 7 with boost 1.53) and in both I have the following error:

Linking CXX executable testGossCmdBuildGraph libgosslib.a(PhysicalFileFactory.cc.o): En la función boost::filesystem::copy_file(boost::filesystem::path const&, boost::filesystem::path const&)': PhysicalFileFactory.cc:(.text._ZN5boost10filesystem9copy_fileERKNS0_4pathES3_[_ZN5boost10filesystem9copy_fileERKNS0_4pathES3_]+0x24): referencia a boost::filesystem::detail::copy_file(boost::filesystem::path const&, boost::filesystem::path const&, boost::filesystem::copy_option, boost::system::error_code*)' sin definir collect2: error: ld devolvió el estado de salida 1 make[2]: *** [src/testGossCmdBuildGraph] Error 1 make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/testGossCmdBuildGraph.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2

All the prerequisites are installed.

Could anyone help me?

Thanks in advance, Francesco

In Centos6, compilation worked with a custom build boost. I suggest you give it a try which is in fact as simple as entering few commands as discussed in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html. I suggest to go with the default installation location, and install all the libraries.

$ cd path/to/boost_1_61_0
$ ./bootstrap.sh 
$ ./b2 install

To be specific, the compilation worked with boost 1.55.0

Dear,

I have a similar error at the same step while I am trying to install it on CentOS7 following your recommendations with a bit of adaptation to not overwrite the other versions on the server (see error lines below).

The boost version on the server is 1.53.0. As you suggested to installed the 1.55.0 version, I installed it locally with the following commands:

tar -xvf boost_1_55_0.tar.gz 
mv boost_1_55_0 ../gossamer.git/
sudo mv boost_1_55_0 ../gossamer.git/
cd ../gossamer.git/
cd boost_1_55_0/
sudo ./bootstrap.sh 
./b2 install --prefix=/opt/tools/gossamer/boost --with=all

I also had to install cmake3. If I run the cmake, I can see that boost v1.55.0 is used.

/opt/tools/bin/cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/tools/gossamer -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/tools/gossamer/boost/include -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/tools/gossamer/boost/lib ..

When I run make, then it crashes at 41% of the process:

Can you help me to install xenome ? Many thanks

Below, an edited method to install on centos7 (RHEL7)

This should build but will lead to a xenome executable which has flaws and in my hands can:

• build an index when using few threads and little RAM (8/96) issue18

• classify and fall asleep forever right after generating the fastq outputs issue9

I ran into the same error and fixed it by following the suggestion from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35007134/c-boost-undefined-reference-to-boostfilesystemdetailcopy-file?answertab=votes#tab-top

In details, in src/PhysicalFileFactory.cc

replace

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

with

#define BOOST_NO_CXX11_SCOPED_ENUMS #include <boost/filesystem.hpp> #undef BOOST_NO_CXX11_SCOPED_ENUMS

[Deguerre]

@weihongqi What compiler did this occur with? If there's some cmake magic required to force that compiler to be C++11 compatible, then we should check that in.
