Hi I want get a accurate data set of LncRNA by using PhyloCSF, however, I encountered too many problems when I installed this software. according to the instruction, firstly, I planed to install opam, but the linux system haven't higher version of glibc, after I installed glibc-2.17, I can run opam, but I receive a message from opam: "[ERROR] Missing dependencies -- the following commands are required for opam to operate:

• bwrap: Sandboxing tool bwrap was not found. You should install 'bubblewrap'" ;

All right, I turned to download and install bubblewrap, but I encountered many problems when I install "bubblewrap", I downloaded "bubblewrap-0.3.3", but in the release I can't found "configure"file, then I found the version of "0.3.1" release have "configure" file, so I download "bubblewrap-0.3.1" and build it , when I completed "configure" process, I ran the "autogen.sh", But once again, I have a received an error again: ../bubblewrap-0.3.1/configure: line 6213: syntax error near unexpected token WARN_CFLAGS,' ../bubblewrap-0.3.1/configure: line 6213: CC_CHECK_FLAGS_APPEND(WARN_CFLAGS, CFLAGS, '

I almost collapsed. Is it so difficult to use a software? Now, I urgently hope that any expert can help me.

What distribution do you use? opam is packaged in many Linux distributions and available on brew, so you shouldn't need to do the install by hand. If for some reason you have to, you don't absolutely need bubblewrap: you can just install opam and add the option --disable-sandboxing when you call opam init.
