I haven't been running pysam's tests, I just noticed while updating to 0.7 that there was a tests directory, and thought I should figure out how to run those. Actually since you mentioned samtools. We've made a couple of modifications to the samtools package. My coworker Henry Amrhein had a patch to return an error message instead of crashing when razip ran out of memory. Also I modified the samtools build scripts to build libbam as a shared library. http://woldlab.caltech.edu/gitweb/?p=samtools.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;h=3d1ac7a0ee286d21f92316c5c5b8a2302fa3b22a;hb=woldlab Fixing the oom segfault is at that git-repository in 'razip-oom-check'. The modifications to the makefile were build-so. Along with corresponding debian package changes for the extra .deb. Though I'm probably not understanding how to name shared libraries properly as there was an error message about the soname. Also the realization that I had a shared library for samtools, and the packaging team wanted a pysam without the embedded samtools source led me to try something I'll talk about in my next email.
