autoconf error in installation #181

Open laluciav opened 9 months ago

laluciav commented 9 months ago

Following the Homebrew installation in the last step when installing phyx: autoconf give error: -bash: autoconf: command not found

is there something missing? Can I do something to solve it?

laluciav commented 9 months ago

I already installed autoconf by brew. And it says: configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: config.guess config.sub

I tried autoreconf -fi but it do not solve it

I would've thought brew would have handles all of the dependencies and should have just installed binaries. Are you on mac or linux? What happens when you type:

brew install brewsci/bio/phyx

I am in mac. If run it I got: Error: phyx: Failed to download resource "hwloc" Download failed: https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/hwloc/blobs/sha256:8cfe9f6649200e089460520a32d6a947418a0dc6376eb9f4597c95bda0a73723

I will try to get my hands on a mac and do a fresh install.

@laluciav I got hold of a mac. I removed homebrew completely and installed phyx. If you only installed homebrew to get phyx then you should probably do a fresh install too. It only took a few minutes. I should note the homebrew install script in the phyx README was out of date.

# remove homebrew completely (https://mac.install.guide/homebrew/5.html). requires password
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"

# install homebrew. requires password
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

# install phyx
brew install brewsci/bio/phyx

I've attached the phyx_install.log so you can see what it should look like. As you can see, you need not muck around with autoconf etc.; those instructions deal with compiling it yourself using the phyx github repo.

Please let me know if this works.
