Hi Peter,
Many thanks for your reply. I have ClustalW v2 installed (v2.0.12 - the
latest release). The binary is named clustalw2. However, as I understand
it, when running the Jemboss installation script, you are asked to
provide the root directory that contains the clustalw binary rather than
the name of the actual binary i.e /path/to/clustal/root/ rather than
/path/to/clustal/root/clustalw2 or have I got that wrong?
The same issue applies to my installation of Primer3 ( latest release -
3-2.2.2-beta). The binary name is primer3_core. I get this error when I
try to run eprimer3.
Error application terminated
Died: eprimer3 uses external program 'primer3_core' which is not in
the PATH or defined as EMBOSS_PRIMER3_CORE
Part of the 'primer3' package, version 3.0, available from the
Whitehead Institute. See: http://primer3.sourceforge.net/
Please can you tell me what file I should set the EMBOSS_CLUSTALW and
EMBOSS_PRIMER3_CORE variables in.
Many thanks for your help.
Nigel

Hi All,
Please can anyone tell me why my installation of Jemboss (EMBOSS v6.3.1
patch v1-4) can't find the external clustal binary and how to correct this.
When I run a multiple sequence alignment using emma, I get the following
output:
Died: emma uses external program 'clustalw' which is not in the PATH or
defined as EMBOSS_CLUSTALW
I can confirm that my jemboss.properties file
($EMBOSS_ROOT/share/EMBOSS/jemboss/resource/jemboss.properties) correctly
points to the root directories of the clustalw and primer3 binaries e.g.:
embossPath=/path/to/clustal:/path/to/primer3
Have you got clustalw 1.x or 2.x installed? The binary names differ,
clustalw.exe versus clustalw2.exe (no extension on Unix/Linux), and
perhaps EMBOSS only expects the former?
Have you tried setting the EMBOSS_CLUSTALW variable?
