drep conda installation dependencies

[Rridley7]

Hi, thanks for your work and recent updates on this tool! Just wanted to note one error that came up while installing this on an HPC:
When using mamba install drep, the subsequent command dRep check_dependencies shows errors on several of the packages, seemingly connected to this consistent error:
libgsl.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`

This seems to be attached to the current conda version of gsl (2.7.1). If this package is replaced by gsl=2.7.0 , these errors are resolved.

Interesting- thank you for the bug report and solution!

Hi, @Rridley7
I also used mamba install drep and experienced the same error.
But I don't know what replace the gsl meaning, I didn't find it in conda list. And when I installed gsl=2.7.0, it seems this error didn't resolved.
Can you help me?

Hey @Wang0293 , gsl is a c library that can sometimes be already installed on your system, so it's difficult to know what is causing the error within your specific case. A naive recommendation would be to try installing everything in a new conda environment, anything outside of that I would need to know more about the specific system and errors you are seeing.

Oh @Rridley7 , I'm so stupid.
I have tried installing everything in a new conda environment before you commented but failed too.
Now I understand what terrible things I have done. I am in China and used the Chinese conda mirrors for faster download, however some errors happended at this mirrors website. So, conda can't help me resolve the dependencies. Now everything goes well by using the gsl=2.7.0.
I’m sorry for taking your time and very thanks for your patience. Best wishes to you!
