Install CASAVA error on Ubuntu 12.04LTS

I am trying to install CASAVA Bcl2Fastq 1.8.3 (designed for CentOS) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. However, I got the error "No support for gzip compression" and the installation failed. Luckily I found a solution to this problem:

  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread* /usr/lib
  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib

But now I got another similar error: "No support for bzip2 compression". I am wondering if I can do something like this to resolve this error?

I finally solved it by linking the bzip2 library file at / usr / lib / x 86_64-linux-gnu / to / usr / lib:

  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2* /usr/lib


But I'm wondering why gcc can't find the library files automatically, is it a problem with my Unbuntu installation or some incompatibility of the CASAVA Bcl2Fastq 1.8.3 software (because it was developed and tested on CentOS)?

For those coming back to this issue - if you can't find any of the relevant libbz2 * files in / usr / lib / x 86_64-linux-gnu / try:



sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev libbz2
