[Bioperl-l] formatdb with the nr database

[Hubert Prielinger]

Hi Nagesh,
thank you very much, I put my database into the data folder, run the 
program and got the following error message:

submit Sequence...just do it....
sh: /home/Hubert/blast/blast-2.2.13/bin/blastall: cannot execute binary file

------------- EXCEPTION  -------------
MSG: blastall call crashed: 32256

Why it did not find my binary file, but it is there
