Okay, it looks like you've downloaded several different versions of BioJava, all of them a bit old now (the releases with an 8-digit number are snapshot releases. We should probably delete some of the older ones. I'd recommend you use the recent BioJava 1.20 release for now. The other things you'll require are: xerces.jar (XML parser) jakarta-regexp.jar bytecode-0.90.jar Strictly speaking, BioJava doesn't need to be `installed'. You can place the .jar files anywhere on your system, then set up the CLASSPATH environment variable to tell your Java runtime where to find them: set CLASSPATH C:\biojava\biojava-1.20.jar;C:\biojava\xerces.jar;C:\biojava\bytecode.jar;. Then take a look at the tutorial: http://www.biojava.org/tutorials/index.html And try compiling a simple example program (try GCContent, from the first chapter of the tutorial). Let me know if you have any more trouble, Thomas. _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
