Post compilation setup

You will now need to make a few adjustments to your enviromnent to ensure that EMBOSS runs smoothly. EMBOSS looks for certain environment variables to determine where the libraries and data are found. These instructions assumed you installed EMBOSS in

/site/prog/emboss
. Adjust these instructions to suit your installation. Insert the following lines at the end of
/etc/cshrc
(or
 /.cshrc
for a personal installation)

setenv PLPLOT_LIB /site/prog/emboss/lib
set path=( /site/prog/emboss/bin \${path} )

Or for bash/ksh/sh users, insert the following at the end of

/etc/profile
or
 /.bashrc

PLPLOT_LIB=/site/prog/emboss/lib
PATH=/site/prog/emboss/bin:\$PATH
export PLPLOT_LIB PATH

EMBOSS should now be ready for use.
