Hello,
I am trying to run a gene based analysis using VEGAS using a linux terminal (ubuntu precise). The programme require plink to be installed and called accordingly. However, the computer also has PuTTY Link which is also called plink installed, and now when I run the programme, it's not calling the correct plink (the genetic version). Does anyone know how I can work around this?
Thanks,
Varun
Why don't you just use the full path?
I am not familiar with VEGAS software. If this software calls plink, then there should be a line in the VEGAS or VEGAS configuration file for the default path to plink. Edit that line and add the full path to plink.
Thanks both. I renamed plink in the config file and the executable file. So it works now.
Cheers,

Renaming a binary is not a good idea. configuring it properly.
How can I install Plink in the server and how to change its name in the configuration file?
