Hello, I'm new to EMBOSS and I have a problem that I can't figure out. I have configured and installed EMBOSS-6.0.1 on my Ubuntu machine and I tried doing the exercises according to the tutorial. There's nothing wrong when I typed 'wossname' and the program works fine, just like in the tutorial. But when it comes to 'showdb' tutorial, the program returns this:
a...@peregrin:~/EMBOSS-6.0.1$ showdb Displays information on configured databases # Name Type ID Qry All Comment # ============ ==== == === === ======= a...@peregrin:~/EMBOSS-6.0.1$ which is totally different from the tutorial where it shows some database names. Is this normal? Then, when I tried to use seqret as in the tutorial given (using xlrhodop), the program returns this: a...@peregrin:~/EMBOSS-6.0.1$ seqret Reads and writes (returns) sequences Input (gapped) sequence(s): embl:xlrhodop Error: Failed to open filename 'embl' Error: Unable to read sequence 'embl:xlrhodop' Input (gapped) sequence(s): which is really confusing. Can anybody tell me what's wrong? _______________________________________________ EMBOSS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/emboss
