Other Frequently Asked Questions

• When installing EMBOSS recently I get a load of errors due to libraries not found.
• GCG has a somewhat arbitrary fragment length limit of 2500 bp for gel*. Is there a similar limit for MSE under EMBOSS?
• How do i get the PNG driver?
• I am trying to compile PNG support into EMBOSS on our CTU Unix system. This requires the z, png and gd libraries, which are not on our system at the moment.
• Can I get the latest code via CVS ?
• I have downloaded the Emboss source and installed it for use at XYZ University without any difficulty. The administration guide has advice on configuring the software using emboss.default, and has examples for allowing access to SRS indices. That appears to be done via the program getz, which is not part of the Emboss package.
• In prettyplot, How do you specify an output file name for the plot file?
• I am trying to write a web interface for an emboss program and run apache. The program complains that there is no HOME directory set.
• What is the difference between TEXT and RAW formats?
• I am not getting full static files even when I configure with --disable-shared
