[Bioperl-l] blast doesn't work

[Anders Stegmann]

Torsten, 
 
I have tried 
 
export BLASTDIR=/usr/local/blast/bin  (where my blastall binary is) 
 
I get the same?

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.
