Dear Nomi, this looks as if SeqAn picks up Boost from the system root (i.e. installed through the Red Hat package manager). You have to set the variable "BOOST_ROOT" to the "${TARGET_DIR}/include/boost" for the build system to pick up your manual Boost installation. If you are lucky, then you can do "ccmake ." in the "bin" directory and simply set the variable. If you are less lucky or if you want to have a clean start then you can remove "bin", recreate it and then execute cmake ../seqan-trunk -DBOOST_ROOT=../include Note that you can omit the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release parameter in recent checkouts (for some months now) since this is the default build type. Don't hesitate to send another email if this does not help you. Cheers, Manuel ________________________________________ From: Nomi Meixner [nomi.meixner@student.uni-tuebingen.de] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2013 6:39 PM To: SeqAn Mailing list Subject: [Seqan-dev] SeqAn installation with manually compiled boost library Hello everyone, I have trouble installing SeqAn on a RHEL system, where I installed the zlib and boost libraries manually. My folder structure looks the following: {TARGET_DIR}/bin -> preferred build directory {TARGET_DIR}/doc {TARGET_DIR}/include/boost/ -> contains all the boost subfolders .hpp files etc. {TARGET_DIR}/lib -> contains libboost* and libz* {TARGET_DIR}/seqan-trunk -> as checked out from SVN {TARGET_DIR}/share Following the tutorial (trac.seqan.de/wiki/Tutorial/GettingStarted/LinuxMakefiles), from the {TARGET_DIR}/bin folder I call cmake ../seqan-trunk -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release, which succeeds. Then >make Make fails at approximately 5% having trouble to find the boost math libraries while installing snp_store. The (potentially crucial part of the) environment looks like this: {TARGET_DIR}/bin$ env | grep CMAKE CMAKE_MAN_DIR=/opt/.../.../cmake/2.8.6/man CMAKE_DOC_DIR=/opt/.../.../cmake/2.8.6/doc CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH={TARGET_DIR}/lib CMAKE_BIN_DIR=/opt/.../.../cmake/2.8.6/bin CMAKE_HOME=/opt/.../.../cmake/2.8.6 DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH={TARGET_DIR}/include CMAKE_VERSION=2.8.6 CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH={TARGET_DIR}/include {TARGET_DIR}/bin$ env | grep LIBR CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH={TARGET_DIR}/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH={TARGET_DIR}/lib {TARGET_DIR}/bin$ env | grep INCLUDE DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH={TARGET_DIR}/include CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH={TARGET_DIR}/include INCLUDE={TARGET_DIR}/include The error looks the following and produces many more lines of errors: [ 5%] Building CXX object core/apps/snp_store/CMakeFiles/snp_store.dir/snp_store.cpp.o In Datei, eingefügt von {TARGET_DIR}/seqan-trunk/core/apps/snp_store/snp_store.cpp:53: {TARGET_DIR}/seqan-trunk/core/apps/snp_store/snp_store.h:36:40: Fehler: boost/math/distributions.hpp: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden However the file{TARGET_DIR}> ls include/boost/math/distributions.hpp include/boost/math/distributions.hpp DOES exist. It is just not found. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, Nomi _______________________________________________ seqan-dev mailing list seqan-dev@lists.fu-berlin.de https://lists.fu-berlin.de/listinfo/seqan-dev
