Installing a Program called MAQ (Beginner Here)
Basically, I'm trying to install this program called MAQ.

Maq User's Manual

I've downloaded it and I tried to type in $ ./configure; make; make install

but the ouput I got was this:

Code:
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/vlay/bwa-0.5.0'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `lib'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vlay/bwa-0.5.0'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/vlay/bwa-0.5.0/bwt_gen'
gcc -c -g -Wall -O2 -m64 -DHAVE_PTHREAD   bwt_gen.c -o bwt_gen.o
make[1]: gcc: Command not found
make[1]: *** [bwt_gen.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vlay/bwa-0.5.0/bwt_gen'
make: *** [lib-recur] Error 1
make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

I'm not sure what any of that really means. I'm also using Cygwin, but again I don't know if that matters.

Thanks for all the help. I'm still really new to all this.

You're not going to get very far without a C compiler installed. Smilie Or, if you do have one, it's not in your path.

What is that? And how would I get it?

Thanks.

It's the program that converts and bundles .c files into executable files. It's necessary to compile most UNIX programs. You'd get that the same way you installed cygwin -- its installer handles other packages too.

I'm not entirely sure if I got the C Compiler from Cygwin's installer. Which one should I be looking for?

I keep trying to install MAQ and it says that

"./configure: No such file or directory"

It means what it says, there's no file named ./configure in the current directory. The ./configure script is only there by tradition, some things have a completely different build procedure, and the website may be out of date; check any readme's or INSTALL files the download came with first. And from what you posted earlier, you already have a makefile, so try running 'make' again.

As for what you need, 'gcc4', 'gcc4-core', 'gcc4-g++', and 'gcc4-runtime' should get you a compiler, though ideally just gcc4 should pull in the things you need. You may also need headers for whatever libraries maq requires.

Ok,

I got the gcc things you listed, but ./configure still said the same thing about no such file or directory

I then tried just typing make but I got this error

Code:
$ make
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/vlay/download/bwa-0.5.0'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `lib'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vlay/download/bwa-0.5.0'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/vlay/download/bwa-0.5.0/bwt_gen'
gcc -c -g -Wall -O2 -m64 -DHAVE_PTHREAD   bwt_gen.c -o bwt_gen.o
bwt_gen.c:1: sorry, unimplemented: 64-bit mode not compiled in
make[1]: *** [bwt_gen.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vlay/download/bwa-0.5.0/bwt_gen'
make: *** [lib-recur] Error 1


Also the program didn't come with a readme file :/
