Error when making fur

[salientrob]

Hello, thanks for making and sharing Fur!

Please could you help me with an error that occurs when I try to install fur?

I have installed make, gloang, noweb and git, and cloned fur (git clone https://github.com/EvolBioInf/fur.git). Then when I use the make command most of the packages are installed successfully but there is an error for makeFurDb: divsufsort64.h is not found.

Thanks for your help!

Hey, same here. And nothing I've tried has worked. Please send help.

Thank you for pointing out this error. The package libdivsufsort-dev was missing from the list of dependencies. This package calculates the suffix array underlying fur. I have now added libdivsufsort-dev to the list of dependencies in the README. So in your case, the programs of fur should build if you do

$ apt install libdivsufsort-dev
$ make

Thanks!

For other novice users, to work through the tutorial I also needed to install:
ncbi-blast+
phylonium
primer3
These are in the documentation but might not be obvious.

Thanks for pointing out these additional dependencies. I've added just them to the README, too.
