<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello all,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We have installed the emboss package 2.8.0 on both IRIX and Linux (64 bit) machines. I have installed several databases, one of which is the incremental updates of EMBL which we cumulate in a flat file now larger than 2 GB. This database was successfully indexed using dbiflat, but we have the problem that seqret either is enable to read a sequence and dies or goes to a segmentation fault, depending on the position of the sequence to read. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I saw in the mailing list archives that this problem was already mentioned in 2002, but is there now a way to solve it without splitting the large flat file?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks for your help,</FONT>
