Re: BLAST+ speed & build issues

Hi, An update on this: 1) I do have a real user who raised the speed issue doing real analysis but admitted his script was both unusual and poorly written (aligning short sequences one at a time). 2) For Bio-Linux users I'm now providing ncbi-blast+-static as an optional drop-in replacement for

Hi, I quickly build the ncbi-blast+ locally with static build using the debian build process, and indeed, static build binaries are much faster (blastx -h) than dynamically linked ones. I will investigate if there is a way to speedup this. Or if anyone has ideas Olivier Le 8/3/11 10:48 AM, T

Hi Tim, regarding speed, I don't know the reason of the difference between static and dynamic linking here. When I created the package I 've chosen the dynamic solution to reduce the size of the binary, while making the library available for other software linkage. Creating a "static" package would

Hi Olivier and Aaron, I've been playing around with BLAST+, trying to tackle one fairly simple but unimportant issue and one more complex and problematic issue. The easy one first: In the build log (on Launchpad) I see that during the test phase of the build there are various attempts to connect
