Install OBItools

[hmoral]

I was hoping get OBItools (http://metabarcoding.org/obitools/doc/welcome.html) installed on Albiorix, please?

I tried and got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 37, in <module>

Hi @hmoral I've tried all possible ways I can think of to install this program. For me it always fails with this error message:

Look for package virtualenv (>=1.11.0) : ok version 15.1.0 installed
/home/mtop/tmp/anaconda2/OBITools-1.2.11/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/mtop/tmp/anaconda2/OBITools-1.2.11/bin/activate'

I suggest you contact the developers and ask for some suggestions how to solve this.

Cheers

OK, thanks for trying. I'll follow up with them, cheers
