BUSCO problem: 100% Missing BUSCOs

[ghost]

Dear Developers,

We are trying to perform a BUSCO analysis in our assembly on a CentOS7 computer. While the Quast analysis is running successfully, we get 100% missing BUSCOs, even if we try the assessment on the reference genome which normally is ~95%-98%. The augustus.log displays the following message multiple times:

/home/mgabriel/.quast/augustus3.2.3/bin/augustus: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /home/mgabriel/.quast/augustus3.
2.3/bin/augustus)

2.3/bin/augustus)

The content of the run_assembly.log from the busco_stats directory, after the end of the assessment is the following:

After some research, I found that others came across the same problem when using BUSCO and the problem is fixed in the new BUSCO version (v4). In Ubuntu, we didn't encounter a similar problem.

Do you have any suggestions on what can we do to fix this? Thank you in advance!

I have faced same error. With --debug mode I found the dynamic library libstdc++.so.6 used in augustus are system library(locate in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6), which was old.
I think the code in busco mode should modified to use the conda-install library (locate in `conda/path/envs/envs-name/lib/libstdc++.so.6.*****)
