I would like to use the General Hidden Markov Model (GHMM) library as part of my PhD project in bioinformatics.
But the current version of this package (0.6.0) as well as a CVS download won't compile on any of the machines I tried. I tried SuSe 9 (amd64), Fedora Cora 3 (x86), Gentoo (amd64) and Mac OSX.
I get this errror:
Why does it require itself to be installed to get compiled? How can I fix this absurd problem?
Anybody successfully compiled this library?

Or does someone know an other hidden markov model library?

Hello,

I have also been trying to install GHMM and have been unsuccessful.

Can any linux gurus out there help us?

I wrote an email to the author (Alexander Schliep) and my bug was fixed by using the newst version from CVS:
(no space beween the -d: and pserver, but I had to make one there or it would display a smiley from -d)

Hope this helps with your bug too...

Hi

I want to use GHMM as part of my PhD ptoject but i've a lot of problems during installation. Many of required dependencies are referring to very old libraries (in particular i'm not able to compile xmlio on my distros, UBUNTU 6.06 and SUSE 10.1).

During the configuration stage of compilation i get the following error:

...
checking for pow in -lm... yes
configure: "not using gsl"
checking for cos in -lm... yes
checking libxml2 version... Package libxml-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libxml-2.0' found

configure: error: Failed: please install atleast libxml-2.6.0

It is strange because libxml 2 seems to ve properly installed on the system (as i've just verifyed):

mtbi0@ublinxbox:/$ find -name 'libxml*'
./var/lib/dpkg/info/libxml2-utils.list
./var/lib/dpkg/info/libxml2-utils.md5sums

./var/lib/dpkg/info/libxmlsec1.postinst
./var/lib/dpkg/info/libxmlsec1.postrm
./var/lib/dpkg/info/libxmlsec1.shlibs

(Well ... to be more precise i hope that this is indicating the library is correctly installed ... but a run of apt-get install libxml2 results in a message like this:"libxml2 is already at the most recent version" and so i'm confident in the presence of libxml2).

There is anyone who tryed to install ghmm on Ubuntu? On SUSE 10.1 i was able to compile the library but not the python wrapper and the editor HMMed (it looks very well in the screenshots...) but after the just performed migration to Ubuntu (because a lot of problems in the YAST update system of SUSE 10.1) i can't compile neither the library and the wrapper/editor.

Sorry for the long and probably boring post ... (also i'm not completely sure if this is, in effect, an off topic) and for oddities in my english.
Any help would be greatly appreciated ... many tanks in advance.

PS:
Despite a lot of searches in the Internet for an alternative HMM library suitable for bioinformatics pourposes i've not found a valid alternative.

sonicbhoc

What version of libxml2 specifically do you have installed? Just because it is the most recent in the apt repository doesn't mean it's the most recent version on the Internet. If it is the required version or higher, file a bug report.

mtbi0

Hi

Tanks for your answer sonicbhoc. The installed libxml2 version (i've get this information using apt-cache show libxml2) is the following:

Package: libxml2
Priority: optional
Section: libs
Installed-Size: 1344
Maintainer: Debian XML/SGML Group <debian-xml-sgml-pkgs@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Version: 2.6.24.dfsg-1ubuntu1
...


As i writed im my previous post the configuraton error ends with a request of installing "atleast libxml-2.6.0" but the installed library seems to be matching the requirements.

I'm worried about the problem may be originated by some specific system setting (i'm new to ububtu and, in general, debian like linux distributions) because the

"Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable"

contained in the error message. A simple echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH allowed me to verify that this variable seems to be not setted. Another (i think most serious) problem is that, using the find command, i was not able to find the required file (libxml-2.0.pc) on my system.

I'm very confused ...

nyk

I just tried to install it again on my gentoo laptop and it worked perfectly.
All I did was:
I have this version of libXML installed:
On distris like ubuntu you have to make sure that really all parts of the build toolchain are installed. My PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains only /usr/qt/3/lib/pkgconfig, so it doesn't seem relevant here. Does building other stuff work?

rikb

mtbi0,

i had similar problems, installing ghmm on
an OSX machine (10.3). i'd been using fink to
grab all the necessary bits, but then ran into
the same complaint you mention regarding the version
of libxml-2, even after i had built the
most recent version (2.6,26-1 as of this
writing) from source.

it turns out that the problem was that the config
script generating this error assumes the use of pkgconfig:

if $PKGCONFIG --atleast-version=2.6 libxml-2.0; then
echo "... ok"
else
echo `$PKGCONFIG --modversion libxml-2.0`
{ { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: Failed: please install at least libxml-2.6.0" >&5
echo "$as_me: error: Failed: please install at least libxml-2.6.0" >&2;}
{ (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
fi

(note, this test of libxml-2 is the ONLY place pkgconfig
seems to be invoked!) installing pkgconfig
allows the $PKGCONFIG shell variable to be bound correctly,
and made it work for me.

I had the same problem installing ghmm on Ubuntu. I solved it by installing libxml2-dev. You should be able to do this by running:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev

Hi all,

I have exactly the same problem. I really need to get ghmmwrapper to work, but I'm stumped. Plus, the ghmm 'support' mailing list on sourceforge seems to be decomissioned... anyone figured a way around this glitch?

Cheers,

HM
