[Bioperl-l] StandAloneBlastPlus

[Mark A. Jensen]

Should work from .bashrc, Hans. Also add  

export BLASTPLUSDIR=/home/hans/BLAST/bin

It really should see it in the PATH as you have it, so that may be a bug; however the BLASTPLUSDIR should force it to see the program.

You can also execute the export commands in the shell, and the variables will be set and visible to programs for the duration of the login session. You can see what they are set to in the shell by doing

set | grep BLAST

>Hi Hans-- Dave is right; you'll need both the new blast+ as well as the latest BioPerl trunk code. Get it by doing both of the following:
>
>git clone http://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-live.git
>git clone http://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-run.git
>
>(i.e., you need the latest core and run distributions). To install, see http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Installing_BioPerl

>>Yes. But it sounds like you're trying to use the Bio::Tools::Run modules for the old Blast, not Blast+. Blast+ doesn't have a blastall executable, it has blastn, blastp, etc.

>>Also, you probably need to upgrade your BioPerl installation. I'm pretty sure BioPerl 1.5.2 doesn't have the Blast+ code in it.
