[EMBOSS] specify primer3 directory?

[Paul Tanger]

Thanks, maybe this is the problem but the solution you suggest doesn't
seem to work because that is a primer3 qualifier not an eprimer3
qualifier.
I get this error:

[paultanger at bspmgenomics bin]$ ./eprimer3
~/QTL-project/30scaffolds_affyMAI_CG.fsa ~/QTL-project/test2
--default_version=1
Died: Unknown qualifier --default_version=1
