[EMBOSS] update logistics

[Bryan Gibbon]

Tom,
I use a similar setup. In order to be able to have current EMBOSS releases 
I download and compile with the source code from HGMP with the following 
commands.

cd ~/src (or the directory you downloaded the file to)
tar -xvzf EMBOSS*.gz
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/biotools
make
sudo make install

This places all of the binaries and libraries etc. in the Biotools 
installation directories and it works great. Of course you have to install 
the Developer tools (on the hard drive in "/Applications/Installers") and 
Xfree86 packages (available from the Apple web site on the Mac OS X tab, 
Downloads, Unix & Open Source).

Hope this helps,
