./longPhase: error while loading shared libraries: libdeflate.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

the installation is running smoothly but jumped out this issue when running longphase.

Hi, can you create a clean virtual env (e.g., conda env) for installation? We can't reproduce the error but suspect this might be due to automatic search of libdeflate during htslib configuration (see below). It would be better if you could confirm any previous installation of libdefalte.

--with-libdeflate
    Libdeflate is a heavily optimized library for DEFLATE-based compression
    and decompression.  It also includes a fast crc32 implementation.
    By default, ./configure will probe for libdeflate and use it if
    available.  To prevent this, use --without-libdeflate.

I have the same issue, solved by setting the environment variable.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=" your libdeflate path containing the file libdeflate.so.0"
I wonder this is caused by makefile

Hi @mailmrcai

Thank you for your testing. I have some questions to ask here.

1. Did you download the longphase_linux-x64.tar.xz or did you use git clone to compile and execute LongPhase?
2. Did your environment have libdeflate installed before installing LongPhase?

Thanks
