IgBlast installation from src files

Question

[jyu429]

Are there instructions for how to compile igBLAST from src files? Specifically, I have the linux tar file from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/executables/igblast/release/1.4.0/ but I don't see a readme.

You don't need to compile. You should just be able to tar -zxvf file.tar.gz and in the bin directory you should get igblastp, igblastn, and makeblastdb.
