Hi,
   I am running Galaxy locally (Ubuntu 11.04) and I am getting this error message when I try to use mapping with bowtie:
Error indexing reference sequence
/bin/sh: bowtie-build: not found
   Then I downloaded bowtie and tried to create a symbolic link using at /bin:
ln -s /home/koala2/bowtie bowtie

   Then I get this error message:
ln: creating symbolic link `bowtie': Permission denied

   I know that is more a linux issue than Galaxy, but does anyone have any suggestion? I changed the permission of bowtie folder and file but keep getting same error. I am logged as administrator too.

Thank you.

Luciano
