[Biodevelopers] Urgent Help

[Joseph Landman]

Hi Gavai:

  Use the locate command to find dynamic libraries (.so extension)

    locate libread | grep "\.so"

or to find the static library

    locate libread | grep "\.a"

Have a close look at 
http://cvs.bioperl.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/bioperl-ext/README.diff?r1=1.1&r2=1.2 
and specifically the link to 
ftp://ftp.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/pub/staden/io_lib/ .  

Pull down the io_lib, untar it, cd into its directory

    ./configure
    make
    find ./ -print | grep -i libread
    make install

On my systems, it placed everything into /usr/local/lib and 
/usr/local/lib.  You can change that if you wish on the ./configure line 
using  --prefix=/path/to/io_lib, but in most cases the default (e.g. do 
not include the --prefix) is fine.

Joe
