<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">GT,<br>I am a molecular biologist, and I am not extremely familiar with using the terminal. I have tried to download the genometools <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1247614707_0">software package</span>, but I am having some issues installing the package on a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1247614707_1">Mac OS X</span>. I don't know if you will be able to help me diagnose my problem, but
when I type "make install cairo=no universal=yes" in the genometools directory, it complies many
routines and then I get the message: "[link libgenometools.a]<br>ar: lib/libgenometools.a is a fat file (use libtool(1) or lipo(1) and ar(1) on it)<br>ar: lib/libgenometools.a: Inappropriate file type or format<br>make: *** [lib/libgenometools.a] Error 1" Let me know if you have any suggestions.<br>Thanks for your help,<br>Mike</td></tr></table><br>
