Hi - I am trying to run psipred (http://bioinfadmin.cs.ucl.ac.uk/downloads/psipred/) and it requires blast+ to be installed. I have done this, and all the blast executables are stored in /usr/local/bin. psipred finds blastpgp, but incurs a fatal error:
Running PSI-BLAST with sequence example.fasta ...
FATAL: Error whilst running blastpgp - script terminated!
does anyone have any experience with psiblast? I assume many of you already use blast and would be interested if you encounter the same problem i am.
psipred might be failing to use blastpgp because it is failing to find blast databases. is there a standard way to store blast databases so that blast execs can access them?
thanks in advance.
