kemboss - Linux installation

If You have not already done so, You first should install the EMBOSS programs. You can either download the sources from ftp://emboss.open-bio.org/pub/EMBOSS/ and compile the programs from scratch, or You download the EMBOSS rpm package from ftp://emboss.open-bio.org/pub/EMBOSS/contrib/RHEL/RPM/ .

Installing kemboss binaries:

There are rpm packages available at http://www.tobias-schwarz.net/kemboss.html built with SuSE Linux 10.3 and 11.0. If You don't use a package manager, You alternatively can download the .tar.gz file and unpack the content. You for example can move the kemboss binary to /usr/local/bin and the other files to /usr/local/shared .
The binaries in the .tar.gz package have been compiled using Qt 4.4.0 on SuSE Linux 11.0. The Qt libraries are not included in the download package, as most modern Linux distributions already contain them.
When You run kemboss for the first time, the program will try to find the EMBOSS binaries and will display a message if it fails to do so. If that happens or anything doesn't work as expected, You should first check the kemboss settings using the configuration dialog.

Compiling from source:

To be able to compile kemboss You must have a suitable compiler and the Trolltech Qt development tools version 4.3 or later installed on Your system. If Your Linux distribution doesn't already contain them, You can download Qt from http://www.trolltech.com/.
Then download the kemboss sources from http://www.tobias-schwarz.net/kemboss.html and unpack them.
Open a command prompt and move to the kemboss 'src' folder (e.g. 'cd /home/bio/kemboss-0.7/src/').
Type 'qmake'. When qmake has finished type 'make'.
To install the compiled files type 'install'. The kemboss binary will be copied to '/usr/local/bin', the other required files to '/usr/local/shared/kemboss'. The kemboss settings will be saved under '.kemboss' in the users home directory.

If You encounter problems installing kemboss or have any question / suggestion, please send an email to mail@tobias-schwarz.net.
