I need to recompile to increase default kmer size.  Do i need to do a complete uninstall or can i just recompile and it will overwrite the existing transabyss

You just need to reconfigure and recompile ABySS. Your Trans-ABySS installation should be fine.

No problem! There is no need to uninstall.
Reconfigure with a large maxk, eg.
./configure --enable-maxk=96
Then, compiling would overwrite the old binaries. However, more memory is allocated per kmer than previously when maxk was 64. An assembly at k32 would now be using more memory than before.

In this case, you could install ABySS with different maxk into different directories, eg.
/home/kmnip/bin/abyss/k32
/home/kmnip/bin/abyss/k64
/home/kmnip/bin/abyss/k96

Just make sure you add the appropriate path to your environment each time, ie. with the `export` command:
for k33 to 64:
export PATH=/home/kmnip/bin/abyss/k64:$PATH
for k65 to 96:
export PATH=/home/kmnip/bin/abyss/k96:$PATH
