[Bioperl-l] Bioperl + standalone blast on Mac= cannot find path to blastall

[Mauricio Herrera Cuadra]

If the ~/.bashrc file doesn't work for you, try renaming it to 
~/.bash_profile and re-login, that might work best.

~/.bashrc works as an individual per-interactive-shell startup file, 
whereas ~/.bash_profile is a personal initialization file, executed for 
login shells.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mauricio.
