Hi, To find out what type of machine you have, you can follow the instructions on the instructions in the directory containing the liftover executables:
"...\To determine your machine type, at the command line type: uname -a When you type "liftOver" on the command line, make sure the letter "O" in the command is capitalized. Also, make sure you have permission to execute the file. Type "ls -l" to see the permissions of the liftOver file. To add permission to execute type "chmod u+x liftOver". I hope this information is helpful. Please don't hesitate to contact the mail list again if you have any further questions.
