How to launch dextractor properly

Question

[susan.tulp]

Hi, I've just dowloaded dataset obtained from PacBio sequencing, meaning that I have three bax.h5 files, one bas.h5 file and metadata.xml. To work with those reads, I need to get a fasta file. I did install dextractor (well...extractor/1.0) to our server and tried to launch the dextractor. However, I got an error:

"dextract: error while loading shared libraries: libhdf5.so.100: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I know, that this means incorrect usage, but I wasn't able to overcome this problem or create the library/database. It is probably a stupid thing and question, but be kind and patient please, I'm just a begginner :) :)

Thanks a lot for any response.

it's a problem of LD_LIBRARY_PATH https://stackoverflow.com/a/4581396/58082
