[Bioperl-l] standalone blast composition based statistics parameter

Hi,
thank you very much, If I use the tblastn instead of blastp, I get the 
following error message

[blastall] WARNING: : Unable to open nr.00.nin

I looked up in the folder, but I don't have that file, and if I download 
the database and extract the file, it isn't there either...

thanks

Hubert
