Hello,

When I try to create a blast database for use within emboss (I have
EMBOSS-2.5.1), it won't work. I created the ecoli.aa db using 'formatdb'. 
This is what I'm doing:

.............
[marcus at nsfm39 db]$ ls -l ecoli.aa*
-rw-rw-r--    1 marcus   marcus     563415 Nov 11 17:08 ecoli.aa.phr
-rw-rw-r--    1 marcus   marcus      34376 Nov 11 17:08 ecoli.aa.pin
-rw-rw-r--    1 marcus   marcus      34312 Nov 11 17:08 ecoli.aa.pnd
-rw-rw-r--    1 marcus   marcus        180 Nov 11 17:08 ecoli.aa.pni
-rw-rw-r--    1 marcus   marcus     354726 Nov 11 17:08 ecoli.aa.psd
-rw-rw-r--    1 marcus   marcus       8287 Nov 11 17:08 ecoli.aa.psi
-rw-rw-r--    1 marcus   marcus    1363280 Nov 11 17:08 ecoli.aa.psq
[marcus at nsfm39 db]$ dbiblast

Could anyone help me with this?
