Hi: I'm trying to install Biojava onto MacOS following informations in the "Getting Started" section of the Biojava website, by putting the following jar files:
biojava.jar commons-cli.jar commons-collections-2.1.jar commons-dbcp-1.1.jar commons-pool-1.1.jar bytecode-0.92.jar into the directory Macintosh HD/System/Library/Java/Extensions Then, while trying to compile the demo code "TestEmbl.java" I get 15 errors and looks like the computer cannot find the packages in Biojava. At that time I didn't set the CLASSPATH because the website says "It is also possible to "install" JAR files onto your system by copying them...". Then I put all the jar files in the directory: /Users/davidchyou/Desktop/david/ Then set the CLASSPATH by typing: export CLASSPATH=/Users/davidchyou/Desktop/david/biojava.jar:/Users/davidchyou/Desktop/commons-cli.jar:/Users/davidchyou/Desktop/david/commons-collections-2.1.jar:/Users/davidchyou/Desktop/david/commons-dbcp-1.1.jar:/Users/davidchyou/Desktop/david/commons-pool-1.1.jar: in a single line, and the command works. BUT after that when I compile the demos again, the computer still produces the same set of error messages (package not exist). Could anyone tell me what else I missed out? A step-by-step istallation guide may be helpful also. Thanks Te-yuan (David) Chyou I attached the error messages I get below: ou003153:~ davidchyou$ javac Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:5: package org.biojava.bio does not exist import org.biojava.bio.*; ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:6: package org.biojava.bio.symbol does not exist import org.biojava.bio.symbol.*; ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:7: package org.biojava.bio.seq does not exist import org.biojava.bio.seq.*; ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:8: package org.biojava.bio.seq.io does not exist import org.biojava.bio.seq.io.*; ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:18: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class SequenceFormat location: class seq.TestEmbl SequenceFormat eFormat = new EmblLikeFormat(); ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:18: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class EmblLikeFormat location: class seq.TestEmbl SequenceFormat eFormat = new EmblLikeFormat(); ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:21: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class SequenceBuilderFactory location: class seq.TestEmbl SequenceBuilderFactory sFact = new EmblProcessor.Factory(SimpleSequenceBuilder.FACTORY); ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:21: package EmblProcessor does not exist SequenceBuilderFactory sFact = new EmblProcessor.Factory(SimpleSequenceBuilder.FACTORY); ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:21: cannot resolve symbol symbol : variable SimpleSequenceBuilder location: class seq.TestEmbl SequenceBuilderFactory sFact = new EmblProcessor.Factory(SimpleSequenceBuilder.FACTORY); ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:22: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class Alphabet location: class seq.TestEmbl Alphabet alpha = DNATools.getDNA(); ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:22: cannot resolve symbol symbol : variable DNATools location: class seq.TestEmbl Alphabet alpha = DNATools.getDNA(); ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:23: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class SymbolTokenization location: class seq.TestEmbl SymbolTokenization rParser = alpha.getTokenization("token"); ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:24: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class SequenceIterator location: class seq.TestEmbl SequenceIterator seqI = ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:25: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class StreamReader location: class seq.TestEmbl new StreamReader(eReader, eFormat, rParser, sFact); ^ Desktop/Biojava-1.4.1/demos/seq/TestEmbl.java:28: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class Sequence location: class seq.TestEmbl Sequence seq = seqI.nextSequence(); ^ 15 errors ou003153:~ davidchyou$ _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - Biojava-l@biojava.org http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
