Dear list, Just found out that conda is not installing on our CentOS6.8 installation (might be related to earlier messages). The problem is that the shell script installing conda unsets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH which makes tar dysfunctional (tar is called by the installer). The command line that is executed during galaxy's installation is wget -q --recursive -O '/tmp/conda_install7tWo7r.sh' 'https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-4.2.12-Linux-x86_64.sh' && bash '/tmp/conda_install7tWo7r.sh' -b -p '/gpfs1/data/galaxy_server/galaxy-dev/_conda' && /gpfs1/data/galaxy_server/galaxy-dev/_conda/bin/conda install -y -q conda=4.2.13 Removing the unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH line (and fiddling around with some file size checks) is (seemingly) successful. There is an open issue on the conda github: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/3632 Any suggestions? The line removal procedure seems to be quite complicated in an automated ansible installation which I try to achieve.
