hi, netters
i installed primer3_1.0b and bioperl-run-1.4 following the instructions.
the source of primer3 executables is in
/home/zz/setup/primer3_1.0b/src/primer3_core.
then i tried the script in the documentation for bio::tool::run::primer3
use Bio::Tools::Run::Primer3;
use Bio::SeqIO;
my $seqio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file=>'input.1');
my $seq = $seqio->next_seq;
my $primer3 = Bio::Tools::Run::Primer3->new(-seq => $seq,
-outfile => "temp.out",
-path =>
"/home/zz/setup/primer3_1.0b/src/primer3_core");
$primer3->add_targets('PRIMER_MIN_TM'=>56, 'PRIMER_MAX_TM'=>90);
my $results = $primer3->run;
but when i ran it, there was an error message saying that primer3 couldn't
be found.
i'm pretty sure primer3 has been properly installed. 'cause when i went to
the source directory /home/zz/setup/primer3_1.0b/src/, i could run the
program there using:
./primer3_core<input.2
why couldn't the perl script find primer3?
thanks a lot!
