alignstats fails with error error while loading shared libraries: libhts.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[nitha26]

Hi,

I tried to install alignstats in Centos7, configure and make were compiled without error. When I tried to execute alignstats it fails.

Error: ./alignstats: error while loading shared libraries: libhts.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Could you please help me to figure out why it fails.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Many operating systems like CentOS default to installing HTSlib libraries in /usr/local. Try running the following on the command line to make the HTSlib shared libraries available to AlignStats:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"

@jfarek Thank you! It worked.
