These distributions include Fedora Core, SuSE, Mandriva & RedHat.
See the platform specific notes (Section 1.7, “EMBOSS Installation: Platform-specific Concerns”) for installing the main EMBOSS package.
You need to make sure that the following libraries and development files have been installed from your distribution DVD/CDs:
ncurses |
ncurses-devel |
You can check whether they're there using the rpm -q command as above. Use the PackageNamerpm -i PackageName.rpmyum install PackageName
These distributions include Debian itself and derivatives such as Ubuntu.
See the platform specific notes (Section 1.7, “EMBOSS Installation: Platform-specific Concerns”) for installing the main EMBOSS package.
You need to make sure that the following libraries and development files have been installed from your distribution DVD/CDs.
libncursesw5 |
libncursesw5-dev |
You can check whether they're there using the dpkg --list command. Use the dpkg -i filename.deb command to install them if necessary (alternatively use a graphical package manager).
These instructions refer to the 10.6 & 10.5 versions of MacOSX although similar principles apply to 10.4 & 10.3.
The EMBOSS developers can only realistically support the package on a virgin MacOSX installation.
See the platform specific notes (Section 1.7, “EMBOSS Installation: Platform-specific Concerns”) for installing the main EMBOSS package.

The EMBOSS configuration has been tailored to accept the Ncurses package available from http://www.freeware.sgi.com (as long as the cc compiler is being used and the configuration command contains a suitable -with-sgiabi switch. This is, at the time of writing:
-with-sgiabi=ncurses-5.3 |
It can be installed using inst and will be loaded into the /usr/freeware directory tree and so would be selected from the EMBASSY configuration using:
-with-curses=/usr/freeware |
As you can see, it is rather out of date. It may therefore be advisable to compile it yourself by following the instructions (Section 1.11, “Ncurses Support: Installing from Source Code”). If you are using the gcc compiler then you should most certainly compile Ncurses support yourself.
See the platform specific notes (Section 1.7, “EMBOSS Installation: Platform-specific Concerns”) for installing the main EMBOSS package.
We recommend that you compile Ncurses yourself by following the instructions (Section 1.11, “Ncurses Support: Installing from Source Code”). You can then specify its location in the EMBASSY configuration using (e.g.):
--with-curses=/usr/local |
These instructions refer to Solaris 10, although they should apply equally well to other versions of this operating system.
See the platform specific notes (Section 1.7, “EMBOSS Installation: Platform-specific Concerns”) for installing the main EMBOSS package.
Some Ncurses packages are provided on companion CDs and on the sunfreeware site. Both of these are problematic: it's therefore strongly recommend that you install Ncurses from source code using the instructions (Section 1.11, “Ncurses Support: Installing from Source Code”).
