Installing dependancy libraries for Newbler on Fedora 15

yum clean all
yum install zlib.i686 libXi.i686 libXtst.i686 libXaw.i686
yum install zlib-devel.i686 libXi-devel.i686 libXtst-devel.i686 libXaw-devel.i686

Installing dependancy libraries for Newbler on Fedora 15

Installing Roche 454 Analysis software version 2.6 (gsAssembler and gsMapper) on Fedora 15
September 21, 2011

September 21, 2011

In case it helps anyone else, to install the Roche 454 sequence analysis software (gsAssembler or newbler, gsMapper, etc.) on a computer running 64 bit Fedora 15, there were a few libraries that needed to be installed first, but a necessary condition to get this to work for me was to first enable both the "updates" and "updates-testing" repositories. This is done using
Applications → System Tools → Add/Remove Software → System → Software Sources → Software Sources

Then, this command installed the necessary libraries, along with a number of dependencies:

sudo yum install zlib.i686 libXi.i686 libXtst.i686 libXaw.i686

The install then went smoothly.

However, the "454 Sequencing Applications" menu did not appear in the main Applications menu. To make them show up (and I am operating in "Fallback mode" if that makes a difference), I also needed this command

sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged /etc/xdg/menus/applications-gnome-merged

For reference, here is the error I received before enabling all repositories:

    Error: Protected multilib versions: libgcc-4.6.0-10.fc15.i686 != libgcc-4.6.1-9.fc15.x86_64

Another app is currently holding the yum lock

Hit Ctrl-C; that's the key combination to kill any currently running process in a bash shell or terminal.

To find out what's locking up yum, try running:

# ps aux | grep yum

Note the PID number of the process and run this to kill the process:

# kill

Check to see if the process has been killed by rerunning:

# ps aux | grep yum

If not, rinse and repeat until the process is killed; some processes can be very stubborn.
