[Bioperl-l] Blast doesn't work

[Anders Stegmann]

Andreas, 
 
Yes, I did create a file named .ncbirc and it is placed in my blast working dir (/home/anst/blast/). It say's: 

[NCBI] 
Data=/home/anst/blast/data

Anders,

did you create a file named .ncbirc in your working directory?
If yes, then please post a snipped of an strace. We then can have a look
on what your program is trying to to.

regards,
Andreas

(I assume you are on Unix, not Windows)  Does it work when you do this?  export PATH=/usr/local/blast/bin:$PATH ./bptutorial 23  Is there definitely a file called 'blastall' in /usr/local/blast/bin which is EXECUTABLE and READABLE by the user running the tutorial?  -- Torsten Seemann Victorian Bioinformatics Consortium, Monash University, Australia http://www.vicbioinformatics.com/
