Hello everybody,

I am a computer scientist and I work for the PAPPSO team ( 
http://pappso.inra.fr/
) to develop various proteomic softwares ( http://pappso.inra.fr/bioinfo
).

I've seen an old thread in "spctools-discuss" concerning the
installation of X!tandem under Linux and I would just like to mention
that I am maintaining some X!tandem Ubuntu packages here (that works
with Debian too) :
https://launchpad.net/~olivier-langella/+archive/ppa

You can easily add this repository in your sources.list with :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:olivier-langella/ppa
sudo apt-get update

You will then be able to install X!tandem :
sudo apt-get install xtandem-cyclone

The latest version (X!tandem 2011.12.01.1) is currently building and
will be available soon for Oneiric Ocelot and others.

I had to modify a little bit the orginal sources in order to compile
correctly. the same modifications I've seen in the scptools thread,
plus the use of "cmake" with autodetection of prerequisite libraries.

Thus, the modified sources could be of interest in case you are in
trouble trying to compile X!tandem with other Linux distribution.
You can then try to download it from the PPA ( for example :
https://launchpad.net/~olivier-langella/+archive/ppa/+files/xtandem-cyclone_2010.12.01.1-9%7Enatty1.tar.gz
)
untar it and then :
cd Xtandem-*
cmake .
make
make install

You need to install cmake according to your Linux distribution, cmake
will try to autodetect external libraries needed by X!tandem (pthread
and expat) and configure it (at least, it should ;-)).

I hope this could be usefull to someone else.
Thanks

Olivier
