Could you give some tips for solve this error, please? All dependencies are installed, and samtools is in bin/sh indeed. We don't have idea what is going wrong. We had already try to reinstall packages and dependencies, change the path and more...

Thanks and regards,

Is samtools executable? Is it also available in the $PATH where Galaxy is started? I do not think it has anything to do with the dependencies installed through the Tool Shed.

yes, samtools is executable and $PATH is available.

Hi Daniel,

I'm not sure what's causing this and I have to admit that it seems that it's not reachable from $PATH. Does galaxy run under the same user as the one you have configured the $PATH for? Can you solve it by just adding a symlink to "/usr/local/bin/samtools" (if that one not already exists of course)?

What you can do to resolve the problem is to (temporary) modify the TopHat wrapper by adding to its command

echo $PATH > ~/tmp_dump_1.txt ; 

which samtools > ~/tmp_dump_2.txt ;

whoami > ~/tmp_dump_3.txt ;

... remainder of tophat command code

 

And check out if the files in your Desktop confirm what you expected
