[vdar at capsella RepeatMasker]$ pwd
/home/vdar/RepeatMasker


But when I enter this path in my program like this

BEGIN {

        $ENV{REPEATMASKERDIR} = '/home/vdar/RepeatMasker';

 }

It gives the same error, do you still think that its not installed and I should
consult someone at campus?

Thanks!
