linux binary will not run about muscle HOT 11 CLOSED

Yep, I use them all the time. I can try to manually recompile and see what happens. I'll report back.

from muscle.

here's the tail of the long list of errors

That's fair. I would recommend to link the binaries from the tagged release into the README text to future-proof this happening again because there is certainly disparity between the two!

from muscle.

sounds like you are using a non-standard CPU (*meaning, not x64) and need to recompile, what does uname -a report on that machine?

from muscle.

Thanks for the prompt reply :) I'm pretty sure it's a common x64 Intel Xeon system. Here is the information requested

$ uname -a
Linux karen 5.10.70-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 30 15:29:01 UTC 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux

from muscle.

That's strange, I've been building Linux binaries this way for many years and almost never run into problems like this. The work-around is to recompile on that machine. Do pre-compiled binaries for other github software run ok?

from muscle.

running make, I get a LOT of errors that all pretty much say

‘typedef unsigned char byte’

This is with gcc 11.1.0

from muscle.

Let me know how else I can assist troubleshooting or debugging this.

from muscle.

Fixing the compile errors should be straightforward, I need to get gcc-11 to resolve that one, it does seem a lot of people are using v11; I was targeting gcc v9 because it's the default in ubuntu 20.04. It's the binary incompatibility that's baffling. Can you verify the checksum:

wget https://github.com/rcedgar/muscle/releases/download/v5.0.1428/muscle_v5.0.1428_linux
md5sum muscle_v5.0.1428_linux
8c81b3c4d258ae92acb02a6a6327a1e6  muscle_v5.0.1428_linux
./muscle_v5.0.1428_linux --version
muscle 5.0.1428_linux64

If you have the same file I do I'm not sure how to trouble-shoot. Can you give me an ssh account to a machine where the problem occurs?

from muscle.

The binary I downloaded was

https://github.com/rcedgar/muscle/blob/main/binaries/muscle

and the checksum is different

➜ md5sum ./muscle
bd513d48aade9804b6013f8615785a50  muscle

however, I tried the link in your code above and that seemed to work fine 🤔
I believe this one was user error on my part, incorrectly pulling the binary from the binary folder. However, we did uncover a failure to compile with gcc 11. What is the muscle file in the binaries/ directory?

from muscle.

Ok, well some sanity is restored. The binaries/ version should also work, but it is older. I'm a github novice and still learning how to use the site in the way people expect. Compatibility with gcc-11 is in progress in #10, I'm not sure how to tackle this one because targeting any given gcc version is liable to break compatibility with other versions. I just don't have the bandwidth to learn as much as I would like about modern open-source development, I also have to do some science...
