Installation Problems

[Former user]

Hi,

I have two questions:

1. on https://bitbucket.org/berkeleylab/metabat, there's the stable release and latest development version as well as binary distributions? There seems to be a few differences in file contents between the two. These are both needed for program to run completely?

2. During installation of boost (Mac OS X El Capitan), I get stuck in this step:

echo "using gcc : 4.8 : /usr/local/bin/g++-4.8 ; " >> tools/build/v2/user-config.jam

and get:

-bash: tools/build/v2/user-config.jam: No such file or directory

Am I missing something and failed to install a prerequisite? I believe the step before that, installing gcc 4.8 and scons, went smoothly without problems.

Please help! Thanks!

Do i need to actually create a v2 folder in /tmp/boost_1_57_0/tools/build

I don't see a v2 folder in there.

For OSX, it is recommended to use the binary version, which is 0.26.3.

I just verified that v2 folder is a typo in the INSTALL.md file

It should be: echo "using gcc : 4.8 : /usr/local/bin/g++-4.8 ; " >> tools/build/user-config.jam
