Samtools 1.8 and 1.9 executable throwing error

Closed this issue · 1 comments

./samtools: error while loading shared libraries: libhts.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The path to where the htslib package is installed locally was not correct . In our system , the HTSLIB package is installed under /opt/software/external/htslib/htslib .
So I added a new variable in the main Configuration file called HSTLIB_INSTALL_DIR set to the absolute path where htslib is installed.

 samtools/Install script now has the following:

./configure  --prefix=${SOFTWARE_BASE} --with-htslib=${HSTLIB_INSTALL_DIR}
