I did give this command export PHRED_PARAMETER_FILE=/usr/local/etc/PhredPar/phred.dat and then I could run the program well, but the environment variable is set transiently ie when i logout and then relogin i need to give this command again to set the env variables. I think this works only locally, I am using an other program (Partigene) that calls the Phred program to do a set of jobs and here i face a lot of difficulty. How can i set up the env variable Globally and not Locally such that I dont have to set it up everytime I run phred. also: Does editing the file .cshrc and.login help? how do I do that?. Is it safer to edit these files. - thnks ash --- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, 2005-07-18 at 10:53 -0700, Ahamarshan jn > wrote: > > just wondering if someone has installed > Phred/Phrap > > and Consed program on FEDORA CORE 2.
