Hello, dear Sirs!

 

The other day I have install the EMBOSS package (version for windows).

 

Environmen parameters are setted as required:

SET EMBOSS_ROOT=D:\Emboss-MS

SET EMBOSS_ACDROOT=D:\Emboss-MS\acd

SET EMBOSS_DATA=D:\Emboss-MS\data

 

 

Please, help me to solve a problem. Why no one's of utilities (seqret, dottup
and others) do not desire work with known databases.

 

showdb return:

 

# Name         Type  ID  Qry All Comment

# ============ ==== ==  === === =======

pir            P    OK  -   -   PIR from the EBI

sw             P    OK  -   -   SWISSPROT from the EBI

swissprot      P    OK  -   -   SWISSPROT from the EBI

uni            P    OK  -   -   UNIPROT from the EBI

uniprot        P    OK  -   -   UNIPROT from the EBI

em             N    OK  -   -   EMBL from the EBI

emblebi        N    OK  -   -   EMBL from the EBI

gb             N    OK  -   -   GenBank from Infobiogen

genbank        N    OK  -   -   GenBank from Infobiogen

refseq         N    OK  -   -   REFSEQ from EBI

 

but if I try exec:

 

seqret emblebi:xlrhodop

 

than get messages:

 

Reads and writes (returns) sequences

Error: Failed to find host 'srs.ebi.ac.uk' for database 'emblebi'

Error: Unable to read sequence 'emblebi:xlrhodop'

Died: seqret terminated: Bad value for '-sequence' and no prompt

 

Any other db-name (from showed by showdb) work also.

 

Please say what a problem is?

 

In being thanksgiving for any help!
