[Bioperl-l] StandAloneBlastPlus

Thanks Guys,

I have run those steps, my current version now is:
hans at hans-laptop:~$ perl -MBio::Perl -le 'print Bio::Perl->VERSION;'
1.006001

But I am still having problems.

I am having slightly more luck with using StandAloneBlast and the regular BLAST form NCBI.  I can get the command-line Blast running.  But I still cannot get Perl to see BLAST.  
Following the instructions from the HOWTO's and the O'reilly book BLAST, I have gotten to the setting up the environmental variables part, which is where I think my problems are arising now.  
I have added these lines to my /home/hans/ .bashrc file in order to get perl to find BLAST:
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/hans/BLAST/bin
export BLASTDIR=/home/hans/BLAST/

Am I just supposed to add these the end of the .bashrc file or am I supposed to put it someplace special.

Thanks for the help,

Hans

Hi Hans-- Dave is right; you'll need both the new blast+ as well as the latest BioPerl trunk code. Get it by doing both of the following:

git clone http://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-live.git
git clone http://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-run.git

(i.e., you need the latest core and run distributions). To install, see http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Installing_BioPerl

cheers MAJ
