How to install current version 2.0 of Jellyfish not 1.1.11 in Ubuntu software centre

What is the output of :

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Thanks for help. Installing LSB made some progress to install Jellyfish 2 DNA k-mer program - but not there yet (see lower down) betwee the ***********; full paste of terminal session follows.

First time round LSB seemed not installed ("No LSB modules are available."); so I installed LSB 4.1 via Ubuntu Software Centre.

Output of "lsb_release -a; uname -a"

"

THEN, from the jellyfish-2.1.3 directory where I had unzipped the Jellyfish download from http://www.genome.umd.edu/jellyfish.html I did
"./configure
make
sudo make install"
following the instructions.

Then running Jellyfish gives:
"z11@Z11:/media/z11_1GB/jellyfish/jellyfish-2.1.3$ jellyfish cite
jellyfish: error while loading shared libraries: libjellyfish-2.0.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

"
so it does not seem to find the /usr/local/lib/libjellyfish-2.0.so.2 library.

I thought it had finished with the libraries but obviously still needs a link. Any suggestion how? Thanks a lot - I want to analyse more than 31-mers in DNA sequence and use some of the newer options in jellyfish 2 that are not in jellyfish 1.

Pat.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Something seems to have gone wrong with the library libjellyfish-2.0.so.2

What is the output of the commands

sudo updatedb
locate libjellyfish

Thanks. Libjellyfish seems to be found.

but still error with jellyfish DNA analysis.

Much appreciated, thanks Pat.

Brilliant - thanks a lot!

"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
"

solves the problem for the current session, and the website you suggest gives permanent solutions.

Thanks again.
Pat

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.

Just to confirm, there seem to be two parts to getting Jellyfish 2.1.3 for Fast, Parallel k-mer Counting for DNA from http://www.genome.umd.edu/jellyfish.html to work under Unbutu Linux 13.10 .
First, install LSB from Ubuntu software centre.
Then "lsb_release -a; uname -a"
Then install jellyfish following the instructions at the umd.edu site.
Then, to run for one session, use "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib"
For permanent use, has other solutions.

If you are happy with Jellyfish 1.0 with limitations on k-mers up to 31-mers and some other issues, you can install it simply from the Ubuntu software centre.

Struggling again to install 2.1.4 on another machine that already had jellyfish 1.0 installed, now on Ubuntu 14.04

After installing as above on usr/local/jellyfish-2.1.4 (not one a user disk!) - with a lot of sudo and/or bash in front the commands on the jellyfish edu site,

needed to use commands:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/usr/local/jellyfish-2.1.4/lib'

sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib

and then run jellyfish with

sudo jellyfish count -m 16 -s 10G -t 8 '/media/Z9_3TB/...mS3-3-ind8_S1_L001_R_001.fasta'
