Re: [Seqan-dev] BZip2 not found


BZIP2 is not needed for BAM. You only need it for the BZ2Stream to work, e.g. if your reads are bz2 compressed. BZ2 has good compression at a trade-off of quite high running times so people in Bioinformatics usually prefer zlib.

On Debian/Ubuntu, you need libbz2-dev for BZip2 support.

Subject: [Seqan-dev] BZip2 not found

Hi,

I get the following error message when executing cmake:

BZip2 libraries could not be found!

As I am not system administrator, which libraries do I have to ask for
to be installed on a Linux system?

Does this affect reading / writing BAM files? (I was under the
impression that only Zlib is needed)

When installing BZip2 locally how do I tell cmake about where to find
the library?

Thanks a lot for your continued support,

Bernd
