SEA-PHAGES | Running DNA Master on a Mac using Wine

Link to this post \| posted 25 Jan, 2016 19:50
GregFrederick@letu.edu	Keith Hutchison I've a student trying to install Wine-DNA Master on a machine running El Capitan (OSX 10.11). He gets it installed but gets the following DNA Master error message: "An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $210" The web says there were problems with Wine on OSX 10.11 this past fall. I don't know if that is the issue but as best we can tell it is the only difference between his Macbook and the rest of the class. So I'm asking a question similar to what I asked about DNA Master on Windows 10. Has anyone had success with this particular installation? Does the error code help in anyway? Thanks, Keith I'll have to email my students and ask which OSX versions they have. gf

Since I was helping students set up and update software I went ahead and upgraded the XQuartz on my Mac to 2.7.8, which is what my student was using. Launched DNA Master and got the same error as reported above. But I have Yosemite(OSX 10.10.5) on my computer. I backed of a version to XQuartz 2.7.7 and all seems to be well. This suggests that it is not the OS change but the newer version of XQuartz. I've emailed the student and am waiting to for his confirmation.

fogartym1	Tamarah Adair We are running DNA Master within the WINE configuration. The installer has been copied and you should be able to get to it from this link. https://baylor.box.com/s/295to06pr1cpztqiu2jn0h77iy3vkanz Our contact is in Student Technology Services. He installs the DNA Master on the Macs in the lab at the beginning of the spring semester. If there are updates he incorporates these. I'm sure he would be glad to answer any questions you might have. Thanks so much for this - so happy to be able to run this on my mac.

Tamarah_Adair	Today I received a few inquiries about using the DNAMaster in WINE. The link that is posted should still work. This is the comment I have from our IT- Users can download the box version and run it and it will update itself as usual. Once the updates have ran, that user will have the equivalent of what is in G42. We are using this version- but we are not able to BLAST from DNAMAster. I am getting a directory (?) error after a few minutes that says OLE error. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? We can use the NCBI and phagesdb sites for annotation, but eventually we are going to need to have BLAST results in DNAMaster. Theoretically, this version is detecting DNAMaster updates, but I am wondering if there is a new link out to NCBI that it is not seeing? We are running DNA Master within the WINE configuration. The installer has been copied and you should be able to get to it from this link. https://baylor.box.com/s/295to06pr1cpztqiu2jn0h77iy3vkanz THANKS!

I also encountered this problem when I used the newest DNA Master WINE build from the Baylor site. I was able to work around the issue by going back to an older version of DNA Master-WINE that I downloaded from the Baylor site last year. I updated DNA Master from within the program to the latest version, and I am able to use BLAST successfully. I'm thinking there is something wrong with the latest version of WINE itself, giving the OLE error?

BLASTing produced the same OLE error. Hopefully it will work for some. I'll wait to Off-peak hours to do a full BLAST. I didn't get the OLE error then. But it only output the results to a text file and not into the DNA Master file. Keith

kbutela	I'm wondering if it's a problem with XQuartz/X11. I'm running 2.7.6 and all is well on my end. I just ran a successful BLAST during peak hours with no error message. Results saved to database.
