[Bioperl-l] Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie and Bio::Assembly::IO::bowtie now available BETA

[Ben Bimber]

Hi Dan,

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but this should work, right?

	my $bowtiefac = Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie->new(
        -command             => 'single',
        -prog_dir 			 => '/utils/bowtie/',
        -max_seed_mismatches => 1,
        -seed_length         => 28,
        -max_qual_mismatch   => 70,
        -quiet				 => 1,
        -want 				 => 'raw',
	-unaligned_file		 => $output_dir . 'unaligned.fq',
	);
		

It throws this error for me:

MSG: Could not find the executable 'bowtie'. You can use
$self->program_dir() and $self->program_name() to specify the location
of the program.
STACK Bio::Tools::Run::AssemblerBase::_check_executable
C:/Perl/site/lib/Bio/Tools/Run/AssemblerBase.pm:178

STACK Bimber::run_bowtie

STACK toplevel C:/Projects/PerlScripts/SequenceTools/test.pl:32


Any chance this has something to do w/ inheriting from assemblerbase?
other wrappers like StandAloneBlastPlus (program_dir() works on PC) do
not.

The error is throw during creation, so I cannot set the program_dir
after creation unless there is something I'm missing.
