Dear emboss folks,
|i saw you acknowledged in the emboss admin file for having worked out
|the modifications required for installing it on mac os x (page 10 of
|the guide at http://www.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/Software/EMBOSS/admin.html).
The current release of emboss (2.2.0 or later) doesn't need
those instructions for compiling on macosx; newer configuration
software handles macosx without any edits to files.
You can also find a compiled version of emboss for macosx at
ftp://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/biogrid/bioapps/bin/
as emboss-2.2.0-powerpc-apple-darwin5.1-gcc.tar.gz
Unpack this from a terminal window to some folder of your choice with
gnutar -zxf emboss-2.2.0-powerpc-apple-darwin5.1-gcc.tar.gz
or double-clicking the .tar.gz file from macosx finder
should unpack via unstuffit.
then from terminal window, source the emboss/setenv file
for emboss environment settings, and test, as with
wossname
