#230 [EMBOSS] problem with EMBOSS configuration '--without x'

[Jon Ison]

Not sure when the next version is due out, but I thought this is worth mentioning in case someone
else runs into it. We had an odd issue with our local EMBOSS installation (6.4.0) on a RHEL VM
which is likely a bug in the configuration step. We were installing for use mainly with Galaxy,
and didn't need X11 configuration, so we configured as follows:

./configure --prefix=/opt/local/Bio/EMBOSS --without-x

However, the installed binaries couldn't find the acd files or data; the only way to find them (as
well as the data files) was to explicitly set EMBOSS_ACDROOT and EMBOSS_DATA. Oddly, installing
libx11-devel and removing the '--without-x' flag during configuration worked just fine, no need
for default env variables or .embossrc files.
