cannot import data with symbolic links #1164

Open DrJesseHansen opened 4 months ago

DrJesseHansen commented 4 months ago

hello,

I am running relion5 beta3. I am using the tomo program, but I think the problem is the same for SPA.

I create a folder with frames as symbolic links. when I try to import I get error: cannot open shared object no such file.

Is it intentional that RELION cannot read in symbolic links? Otherwise it is a bit annoying to have to duplicaet 700GB of data.

best

Jesse

You can use symbolic links but they must be by absolute paths (see https://relion.readthedocs.io/en/release-5.0/SPA_tutorial/Preprocessing.html#getting-organised).

cannot open shared object no such file

This error message is not about symbolic links to data. This is about missing libraries. Probably your installation is not complete.
