[MOBY-dev] Re: [moby] buggy new biomoby release

[Mark Wilkinson]

Doh!  I missed one.  

There is an (unused) call to LS::ID->new in the code. Unfortunately, I
do have the LSID libraries installed so I didn't pick up on that.

I have commented-out the line in the release codebase and will make
another release, but before I do I want to make sure that this was the
only problem you saw.

Let me know,
