No additional library is necessary.

Here is the procedure to install MUMmer from source code:

• The archive with the source code has been downloaded from its web location, decompressed into /home/bioubuntu and the resulting folder moved into “”/opt/bio/sources/. * The /opt/bio/sources/MUMmer3.21 folder should belong to root and its permissions set to 755. <code bash> % sudo chown -R root:root /opt/bio/sources/MUMmer3.21 </code> * Once in /opt/bio/sources/MUMmer3.21'', compilation is easily done:

% sudo make

• To make sure that anyone can use the application:

% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/MUMmer3.21/mummer /usr/local/bin/mummer
