Error with twoBitToFa tool

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use the twoBitToFa tool, but I am getting this error message.

twoBitToFa: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

According to the information that I have found on Internet about this error, the program was apparently compiled against a version of MySQL downloaded from www.mysql.com; libmysqlclient.so.20 which is not available in Debian, which which coincidentally is the operating system on which the Galaxy instance is running on (Debian 9.7).

How could I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @jvdlrm

I’m not sure which version of the Galaxy wrapper you are running, but this is the most current from the IUC https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/ucsc_twobittofa/356dc923f8d3

Installed from the ToolShed with dependency management enabled, the containerized job environment should work regardless of the underlying OS.

That said, if you think there is a tool wrapper problem, it can be vetted first at Gitter here https://gitter.im/galaxy-iuc/iuc or directly reported here https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/issues.

Thanks!
