Installing Bwa On 32 Bit Unix Machine

Hi All,

I was able to install bwa easily on 64 bit but while I was trying to install on 32 bit, its saying an error.

[uvj@localhost bwa-0.7.5a]$ make

gcc -c -g -Wall -O2 -DHAVE_PTHREAD -DUSE_MALLOC_WRAPPERS ksw.c -o ksw.o

In file included from ksw.c:28:

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.7/include/emmintrin.h:32:3: error: #error "SSE2 instruction set not enabled"

ksw.c:48: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘__m128i’

I tried these recommendation at this website:

but still didn't work !!

Any input on this ?

Thanks !! Some of feature of SSE is not available for 32 bits and SSE is basically supporting 64 bits by design only.
