[Biopython-dev] 1.62b test coverage report

[Ben Fulton]

My test machine was running Ubuntu 12.04.

For fasttree I installed version 2.1.4-1~ubuntu12.04.1 using apt-get, and
got this error:
ApplicationError: Command 'fasttree -out temp_test.tree
Quality/example.fasta' returned non-zero exit status 1, 'Unknown or
incorrect use of option -out'

The NCBI_BLAST error involves rpsblast not being in the install. Version
2.2.25-7 using apt-get.

Dialign is version 2.2.1-5 using apt-get. I got two errors: first,
DIALIGN2_DIR not being set. It was installed to /usr/bin so I set
DIALIGN2_DIR to that directory; then I got "Environment variable
DIALIGN2_DIR directory missing BLOSUM file." I'm not sure either of these
items are needed, though I may have missed them in the documentation.

I downloaded version 130708 of Prank from
http://code.google.com/p/prank-msa/downloads/list. The error is on line 165
of the test file:

AssertionError:
-----------------
 PRANK v.130708:
-----------------

Input for the analysis
 - converting 'Quality/example.fasta' to 'temp with space.phy'

EmbossPhylipNew I tried to install from source, but it was complicated and
I didn't get it finished.

I'll send some notes on the other errors when I get a few minutes.
