Thanks Bastien, and you must think what the hell you still use that old
version; well I maybe dumb in terms of bioinformatics (as a biologist
trying to embark on this new field) but not that dumb when a new and
better version is available. The problem is that our linux server uses
an old gcc version and doesn't allow installation of new mira versions.
When I asked them to install 3.9.15 and that's what happened:

Updating gcc will break some other stuff on the server, so I can not do
it. I have backed mira down to 3.4.1.1, and will continue to look into a
solution.  Sorry I can't do the upgrade at this point.

This sounds wired, anyhow i assume you're struggling with your system administration at this particular point?

Two things worth to consider:
1) Albeit i do not recommend this but of course you can have several parallel installations different GCC versions. If you're not using a very exotic OS then maybe you could try and install a local recent GCC version. 2) If it's possible to use a virtual Box or alike on your system then this might also be a intermediate solution.


That's why I tried to install it on my mac but ran into a problem with
gcc compiler (if you can recall that I have sent you a mail regarding
this) and you suggested not to use Mac.

It has not been a smooth ride for me on the mira, and I should have
consulted the new manual as I only had a quick look on the new one and
thought it's not much different from the 3.4.0 which I have printed out.

Well enough a long story, basically there is no way that I can do
mapping assembly unless I got the new version running?

Sorry for all these dumb questions and that's why you are here to help?
Much appreciated

Austen

Do yourself a favour and take the latest development version for Ion data:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mira-assembler/files/MIRA/development/

Docs in the package or online here:

http://mira-assembler.sourceforge.net/docs-dev/DefinitiveGuideToMIRA.html

Please read up the four or five sections on how to write manifest files

http://mira-assembler.sourceforge.net/docs-dev/DefinitiveGuideToMIRA.html#sect_ref_config

and here's a simple example for a mapping assembly with Illumina data
(you'll be able to find out how to change file formats and technology
used, I'm sure):
