Known bugs

• SPatt package encounter a bug when 5 patterns or more are considered through the -p option. As this bug is not critical in the current use of the programs it have not yet be fully investigated. (e.g. sspatt sequence.fasta -m 1 -l 6 -p ccagcg -p ctggcg -p cgccag -p "ccagcg|ctggcg|cgccag" -p gctgg..g)
• For SPatt 1.1.1: Under Solaris, INFINITY is not defined as under Linux. In order to compile the package, you'll need to add "#define INFINITY 1e300" at the beginning of src/cp.cc. Moreover, on Solaris, "_I" and "_S" are reserved names all occurrences of them (execpt for MAX_STRING_LENGTH) must be replaced (for ex by "_Sn" and "_In") in src/process.h and src/process.cc. These last points have been permanently corrected with SPatt 1.1.2 Even after that, a make check produce one error for ldspatt:

  -n Checking ldspatt:
  122c122
  < ctgc  28      24.70   0.000118
  ---
  > ctgc  28      24.70   0.000638
  NOT ok!
  

  This is harmless and should not be taken into account. At last, the make static will produce an error as the find options could differs from the linux version.
