how to install estscan 3.0.3

When I install estscan 3.0.3

after:

root@zqd-VBox:/home/zqd/bioinf/soft/BTLib-0.19/estscan-3.0.3# gcc -o estscan estscan.c

I run estscan, but there has a error:

estscan: Could not open file /usr/molbio/share/ESTScan/Hs.smat: No such file or directory(2)

How can I fix it?

Umm, did you run the gcc command yourself? The program has a Makefile. Maybe just make? And it's safer to not be root when running make.

thank you for your reply!

when I run make there is an error

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Besides, without BTLib, estscan can still run,why?

That's a linker error. Can you paste the entire output from make on a GitHub Gist and share that here please? Just run

make 1> make.log 2> make.err.log

And upload make.log and make.err.log to the gists.
