Re: [qiime-forum 1.9.0] blast-2.2.22 installation

[John Chase]

Hello, 

Just to make sure, you did close and then restart the terminal before running the commands? Next, my guess is that your system is finding a profile other than the one where you placed the path to blast. 

 

If you cd into your home directory and type "ls -a" without quotes this will display all of your files (including the hidden ones) if you see a ".bash_profile"  or ".bash_rc"  add the blastall path to one of those, mac will by default only read the ".profile" file if the other two aren't in there. If you have both use the .bash_profile. Restart your terminal and see if it worked.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I have a problem with blast-2.2.22 installation using my Mac. I followed the instruction of the installation with my user account (see the link: http://www.wernerlab.org/software/macqiime/macqiime-installation/installing-blast-in-os-x). I added the ~/blast-2.2.22/bin folder to my PATH. But when I typed: 

which blastall

nothing returned. And if I typed 

blastall

it just told me that 'Command not found'. However, if I invoked blastall by giving the full path to the executable file, it worked. 

The problem is when I using macqiime, it could not find blastall. 

Could anyone help me with this problem? I'll really appreciate any suggestions. 

Thanks!

 I have same problem. Any solution already?

[Colin Brislawn]

Yes. The solution is to add the path to blastall to your linux PATH, so that they system can still find it without you typing the whole path.

Just to make sure..

Do you have blastall installed?

Are you on Mac on some blend of Linux?
