Does your BLASTDIR actually contain the 'blastall' binary?

In my installation I have to do:
	export BLASTDIR=/usr/local/ncbi_blast/bin

Also, to run test 23 in bptutorial you have to run it from a directory 
with a ./t/data/ subdirectory. This is in CVS bioperl-live and the 
orginal tar.gz distribution.
