Hi all, Installing htseq-count with dependencies fails on my system: htseq-count installs four dependencies (numpy, picard, samtools, htseq) , of which one fails (htseq), strangely enough. The error is: error: can't create or remove files in install directory The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/apps/htseq/0.5.3p9/lparsons/htseq_count/f320093f1e8e/lib64/python/test-easy-install-856.pth' The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /apps/htseq/0.5.3p9/lparsons/htseq_count/f320093f1e8e/lib64/python/ This directory does not currently exist. Please create it and try again, or choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir option). The /apps directory is completely owned by Galaxy. I tried to create that missing directory (reported above), but got a little stuck, since uninstalling the dependency removed that directory again. The tool created the folder /apps/htseq/0.5.3p9/lparsons/htseq_count/f320093f1e8e with contents: INSTALLATION.log lib Next I looked to the tool_dependency.xml, but with my limited experience did not see something obvious. Thanks for any hint, (prefer to get the installation working from the toolshed) Joachim -- Joachim Jacob Rijvisschestraat 120, 9052 Zwijnaarde Tel: +32 9 244.66.34 Bioinformatics Training and Services (BITS) http://www.bits.vib.be @bitsatvib
