Hi Renato, on biomart.org under the tab DOCS you will find a link 'Quick install guide'
there you can see the links to download precompiled (.zip, .tgz, .dmg) upon extraction, you can find the binaries under bin/ marteditor.sh martbuilder.sh etc etc let me know if this doesnt work. PS: there is a table of contents (TOC) in the pdf docs (http://www.biomart.org/user-docs.pdf). If you are looking at some other docs which doesnt have one, please send it to us, so we can have a look at them and trace where things went wrong. cheers syed On Tue, 2008-05-20 at 10:41 +0100, Renato Golin wrote: > Syed Haider wrote: > > Hi Renato, > > > > Is there any particular reason that you are not trying the distros > > (.zip, .tgz or .dmg file) ? > > Hi Syed, > > I want to run the tools, MartEditor and stuff.
