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. *m ________________________________________ From: Bernd Jagla [bernd.jagla@pasteur.fr] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2012 9:37 AM To: seqan-dev@lists.fu-berlin.de 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 _______________________________________________ seqan-dev mailing list seqan-dev@lists.fu-berlin.de https://lists.fu-berlin.de/listinfo/seqan-dev
