Makefile.PL error

[dejonggr]

Hi there,

I'm trying to install Tephra on a RHEL-based OS. I've downloaded the lastest version as per your Github instructions and I've installed all the core/per dependencies (I'm using perl v5.16.0 via perlbrew). However, I've run into this error when initiating the Makefile:

$ perl Makefile.PL
Generating a Unix-style Makefile
Writing Makefile for Tephra
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json
=====> Configuring Tephra, this may take some time...
[ERROR]: move failed: Is a directory

It seems like it's happening shortly after the directory gt-1.5.10-Linux_x86_64-64bit-barebone (genome tools?) is unzipped but I can't find any reference to this in your makefiles.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks,
Grant

Can you show me the output of the commands you ran before this? Specifically, the install commands listed in the INSTALL file. I believe that will explain the issue.

Thanks,
Evan

sudo yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools"

This resulted in a number of problems.
I ended up opting to use:
$ sudo yum --skip-broken groupinstall "Development tools" --setopt=group_package_types=mandatory,default,optional

I used perlbrew for everything else.

I've already installed BioPerl using:
$ cpanm Bio::Perl

I tried this option anyway:
$ echo "n" | cpanm -n Data::Stag DB_File Bio::Root::Version Bio::SearchIO::blastxml Bio::SearchIO::hmmer

but apparently some dependencies of the version in your command throw errors:

cpanm Bio::Perlecho "n" | cpanm -n Data::Stag DB_File Bio::Root::Version Bio::SearchIO::blastxml Bio::SearchIO::hmmer

I haven't been able to get these modules installed. I didn't think they would be a problem considering I already have BioPerl installed but perhaps they're the culprit?

Looking at the log files it seems to be related to this error:

undefined reference to `gzopen64'

which is related to zlib and to be frank I have no idea how to go about fixing that.

I think the command was issued with a typo. That is one issue. Try this:

echo "n" | cpanm -n  Data::Stag DB_File Bio::Root::Version Bio::SearchIO::blastxml Bio::SearchIO::hmmer

[dejonggr]

The result was the same unfortunately:

! Installing the dependencies failed: Module 'Alien::Libxml2' is not installed
! Bailing out the installation for XML-LibXML-2.0201.
! Installing the dependencies failed: Module 'XML::LibXML' is not installed, Module 'XML::LibXML::Reader' is not installed

I updated libxml2-devel and the cpanm/BioPerl command finished successfully.

The makefile.PL error is still present though:

perl Makefile.PL

Thanks for the update. Can you tell me which OS version and Perl version you are using?

perl -v

and

cat /etc/redhat-release

[dejonggr]

I'm using Scientific Linux release 6.2 (Carbon) and perl v5.16

Hi, I've been looking at how to recreate this issue but this is not a common Linux variant, and so it is not available from any common cloud providers.

Let's try to start from scratch and see if you get the same error. From the Tephra directory, try these commands:

rm -rf ~/.tephra
make clean
perl Makefile.PL

And let me know what you get.

Thanks.

I get the same error as before.

Which line might be throwing the error?

I get the follow code from grepping MV from the Makefile:

MV = mv - $(MV) $(FIRST_MAKEFILE) $(MAKEFILE_OLD) $(DEV_NULL) -$(NOECHO) $(MV) META_new.yml $(DISTVNAME)/META.yml -$(NOECHO) $(MV) META_new.json $(DISTVNAME)/META.json -$(NOECHO) $(MV) $(FIRST_MAKEFILE) $(MAKEFILE_OLD)

It seems like the first three lines run successfully based on the directory but maybe the last one isn't working?

This is what the directory looks like after the error:
