Re: [Gmod-ajax] Jbrowse on mac os 10.5

[iphan <isa...@sb...>]

Hello Mitch

installing the latest jbrowse using the tar and the zip file fails because
it looks like the dnd directory is missing from the archives: Apache returns
the error

File does not exist: /Users/iphan/Sites/jbrowse/jslib/dojo/dnd, referer:
http://localhost/~iphan/jbrowse/index.html

I've tested the old jbrowse and that works fine, so I know I've got all
dependencies sorted out.

I don't have git, so would very much appreciate it if I could use the
alternative downloads.

Thanks,

Isabelle
