Why do we need to specify libgd
? Wouldn't the gnuplot
package handle this already?
I get following error from gnuplot.
set terminal png tiny size 1400,1400 "/tmp/tmpG1bQhT/ref_qry.gp", line 1: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list
Solution is from stackoverflow with exact same error.
Was testing on ubuntu 18.04
Yes, but with conda this should be done in the build dependencies of the gnuplot recipe.
The current conda-forge recipe does declare a dependency already:
https://github.com/conda-forge/gnuplot-feedstock/blob/master/recipe/meta.yaml
However, by asking for gnuplot 4.6 since conda-forge does not have this older version, we should get the (since deprecated) bioconda package:
https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/pull/5106
It looks like that did not declare the dependency, so that might explain it not having PNG support:
Looks like when Galaxy create the environment, it orders the channels with conda-forge first followed by bioconda. However, it is matching to gnuplot 5.2.7 from conda-forge even when it is pinned to 4.6 on the command.
conda create -d -y --quiet --override-channels --channel iuc --channel conda-forge --channel bioconda --channel defaults --name galaxymummer libgd=2.2.5 ghostscript=9.10 mummer=3.23 gnuplot=4.6
gnuplot 5.2.7 h0fb2448_3 conda-forge
That is very strange - possibly a Galaxy bug. Have you confirmed outside of Galaxy if that version of conda lacks PNG support?
I confirmed outside of planemo/Galaxy with the exact command provided above.
However the issue is
--override-channels --channel iuc --channel conda-forge --channel bioconda --channel defaults
that causes the issue. Order channels causes things to behavior strangely.
How do you want to process? I can remove libgb from wrapper but I probably have to fix it 'manually' after Galaxy installs it. I just want to remove my dependencies on old tool_shed package. Less duct tape the better!
Actually the issue is the order of installation of the packages.
The order on the command line argument does not matter but how conda actually installing.
conda create -y --quiet --name outsidegalaxymummer libgd=2.2.5 ghostscript=9.10 mummer=3.23 gnuplot=4.6
conda activate outsidegalaxymummer
gnuplot
set terminal png Terminal type set to 'unknown'
conda remove -y gnuplot && conda install -y gnuplot
gnuplot set terminal png Terminal type is now 'png' Options are 'nocrop enhanced size 640,480 font "arial,12.0" '
Initial conda create list gnuplot before libgd.
environment location: /home/pmabon/miniconda3/envs/outsidegalaxymummer
added / updated specs:
- ghostscript=9.10
- gnuplot=4.6
- libgd=2.2.5
- mummer=3.23
It does look like there is something wrong with the gnuplot 4.6 bioconda package, but that is no longer maintained. We could make a new gnuplot 4.6 conda-forge package (the best way to preserve replicability), but it seems a lot of work for minimal benefit.
Do you want to try the minimal change of bumping the version of gnuplot requested in tools/mummer/mummer.xml
and removing tools/mummer/tool_dependencies.xml
?
Sure thing! Will bump gnuplot version and see what needs to be done.
Thanks! I guess I should update the README file, and push this to the tool sheds...
Converted from tool_shed package to use bioconda for mummer. Added libgd to ensure that png and other image are available for gnuplot
