It seems the big_blast.pl script cannot find the blastn executable. Do you have blastn somewhere? If not, download the old blast-package (not blast+) from NCBI, unpack it, and place the blastn executable in a folder that is in your path, i.e., a place where scripts or programs can find it. You probably have a folder called /usr/bin/, try placing it there. Type env (using a terminal window) to see your path (and a lot of other information).

There is an error when I was trying to run the big_blast.pl<http://big_blast.pl>. "Can't exec "blastn": No such file or directory at ./big_blast.pl<http://big_blast.pl> line 489, <IN> line 2."
