[Bioperl-l] repeatmasker

[Fairley, Derek]

Hi Karen,

RepeatMasker isn't a BioPerl program - although the
Bio::Tools::Run::RepeatMasker module can call it if it's properly
installed on your system. RepeatMasker also requires either Cross_Match
or WUBlast to be installed, in addition to a local database containing
repeat data.

Can you run RepeatMasker from the command line okay?

Derek.

Dear all,

I want to use the BioPerl repeatmasker program.
However, when I run the following program (=first lines of the
synopsis):

use Bio::Tools::Run::RepeatMasker;

  my @params=("mam" => 1,"noint"=>1);
  my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::RepeatMasker->new(@params);

I get the error message: *RepeatMasker program not found as  or not 
executable.*
I have the file *RepeatMasker.pm* in the following directories:
C:/Perl/lib/Bio/Tools/Run
C:/Perl/site/lib/Bio/Tools/Run

Can anyone please help me with this?

Many thanks in advance and a happy new year,
Karen
