Installing associated software MSE.

A) a) from the anonymous cvs code.

1) Go to the mse directory

       cd embassy/mse

2) make the configuration file

       aclocal
       autoconf
       automake

3) configure and compile

       ./configure (use same options as you used to compile emboss)
       make
       make install

b) from MSE-1.0.0.tar.gz

available from our FTP server ftp://emboss.open-bio.org/pub/EMBOSS/ in file MSE-1.0.0.tar.gz

If you have done a full installation of EMBOSS using a 'prefix' e.g. you configured with ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/emboss and followed this with a 'make install' then:

1) gunzip and untar the file anywhere

       gunzip MSE-1.0.0.tar.gz
       tar xvf MSE-1.0.0.tar

2) go into the mse directory

       cd MSE-1.0.0

3) configure using the same prefix and compile [e.g.]:

       ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/emboss
       make
       make install

N.B. If you configured without using a prefix but did do a 'make install' (or specified a prefix of /usr/local, which amounts to the same thing) then you must configure using:

            ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-localforce

If, on the other hand, you did not do a 'make install' then:

1) Go to the emboss directory

       cd EMBOSS-2.10.0

2) make new directory embassy if it does not exist already.

       mkdir embassy

3) Go into that directory

       cd embassy

4) gunzip and untar the file

       gunzip MSE-1.0.0.tar.gz
       tar xvf MSE-1.0.0.tar

5) go into the mse directory

       cd MSE-1.0.0

6) configure and compile

       ./configure (use same options as you used to compile emboss)
       make
