installation of Cufflinks

Follow the steps at http://cufflinks.cbcb.umd.edu/tutorial.html

1. Download Cufflinks version 2.0.2 (BETA), Source code
2. tar -zxvf cufflinks-2.0.2.tar.gz (before final installation, make sure related tools are installed! See below)

Installing Boost C++ libraries
1. Download Boost at http://www.boost.org/users/download/
2. The bjam boost engine is also required. If MacPort is installed, then use the command sudo port install boost. It will take care of everything.
3. If #2 won't work, try (preferred way!)
  tar -xzf boost_1_50_0.tar.gz
  cd boost_1_50_0
  # Configure (and build bjam):
  ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/some/dir/you/would/like/to/prefix
  # Build:
  ./b2
  # Install:
  sudo ./b2 install

Installing Samtools
1. Downlaod samtools at http://sourceforge.net/projects/samtools/files/
2. tar zxvf samtools-0.1.18.tar.bz2 and cd to the SAM tools source directory.
3. Build the SAM tools by typing make at the command line.
4. Copy libbam.a to the lib/ directory (e.g. /usr/local/lib/)
5. Create a directory called "bam" in the include/ directory (e.g. /usr/local/include/bam)
6. sudo cp -a ./samtools-0.1.18/*.h /usr/local/include/bam (copy headers (files ending in .h) to the include/bam directory)
7. sudo cp -a ./samtools-0.1.18 /usr/local

Installing the Eigen libraries
1. Download Eigen at http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/
2. tar zxvf eigen-eigen-5097c01bcdc4.tar.bz2
3. sudo cp -a ./Eigen /urs/local/include

...Now, finally we can build Cufflinks
1. cd cufflinks-2.0.2
2. ./configure
