I am going to see if I > remove the contents of the shared directory, if it will still run. It was a simple matter of allowing users write access to the shared directory. But there are still files I have to leave in the shared directory. I erased the contents of the shared, ran it again and mpiblast needed a .dbs file. I am rerunning mpiformatdb (didn't make a backup) and will try it again by erasing just the segment files, this time making a backup ;) -- Jeremy Mann jeremy@biochem.uthscsa.edu University of Texas Health Science Center Bioinformatics Core Facility http://www.bioinformatics.uthscsa.edu Phone: (210) 567-2672
