Hi all,

I am trying to install the Genome Diversity tools from the Miller Lab that are in the Galaxy toolshed. I’ve been able to get all dependencies installed except Quicktree. Whenever I try to install it, I get the error:

Error downloading from URL

ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub4/resources/software/quicktree/quicktree.tar.gz:

This is the tool_dependencies.xml file for installing quicktree:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<tool_dependency>

<action type="download_by_url" target_filename="quicktree_1.1.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub4/resources/software/quicktree/quicktree.tar.gz</action>

<action type="shell_command">make quicktree</action>

<action type="shell_command">cp -R bin $INSTALL_DIR</action>

<environment_variable name="PATH" action="prepend_to">$INSTALL_DIR/bin</environment_variable>

</action>

</actions>

</install>

</package>

</tool_dependency>

I know this is not their file I’m downloading but the thing is, if I copy and paste the URL, I can download it with no problem. I’m not sure why it’s reporting that it can’t be found but the xml looks right to me. I’ve tried contacting the Miller Lab about this but haven’t heard from anyone so I’m hoping someone here can tell me how to move past this problem. Is there a way to install this tool manually and have the main Genome Diversity tools recognize it on the Galaxy server?

Also, I noticed when looking at the Tool Dependency Definitions at https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/ there are errors going back many versions for this tool (see Test runs – Installation errors – Tool dependencies).

Thank you for any help you can provide.
