configure not finding gsl_cdf.h when gsl path is given?

[jolespin]

I'm trying to install the tool from the install but it can't find my gsl. I created a new conda environment for fastani with gsl.

conda create --name fastani_env --yes
source activate fastani_env
conda install -c conda-forge gsl --yes

Now I'm trying to install the tool:

(fastani_env) -bash-4.1$ ./bootstap.sh
(fastani_env) -bash-4.1$ ls -lhtr /usr/local/devel/ANNOTATION/jespinoz/anaconda/envs/fastani_env/include/gsl/ | grep "gsl_cdf"

Do you know why it's not finding my gsl_cdf.h?

May be there is a mistake in specifying proper path of gsl.

Can you try --with-gsl /usr/local/devel/ANNOTATION/jespinoz/anaconda/envs/fastani_env/

Typically the path you specify should contain an include folder and a lib folder.

I got installed via conda.

Hi cjain7, I have exactly the same problem. Do you remember how you fixed it? Thank you!!

@aberaslop, may be you can install FastANI directly via Conda too? Isn't it working?
