HI, I downloaded the latest bwa (already been using bwa ). I tried to do 'make' to install but get an error, In file included from bwtaln.h:6, from bwaseqio.c:4: bwt.h:63: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before âsize_tâ make: *** [bwaseqio.o] Error 1 Please can you help me here. I know this is a reviews page, but cannot find a way to post the message on any forum. Thanks.

Only consider BWA version 0.6.2 as the latest sufficiently tested and stable version. That said, this is a very good application for aligning short sequencing reads.

good job
