I had a lot of issues installing bcftools using conda, getting [this error] when running bcftools , so I'm assuming this is the same issue.

To resolve it I installed bcftools from scratch following: https://samtools.github.io/bcftools/howtos/install.html and then replaced the conda-env/bin/bcftools with a link to the executable generated by the make command. After that it ran smoothly. Hope this helps!

I also had an issue where bcftools was reported as being installed in the snippy environment after installation of snippy with conda but was not actually there.

I solved the issue by copying and pasting the bcftools executable from a dedicated environment into the environment of snippy

Conda version has a bug that it needs an extra library "libgsl" which is not correctly installed. A work around is to replace "/envs/snippy/bin/bcftools" with a static binary version of bcftools.
