Hi,

I'm trying the add tool tutorial at http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Add%20Tool%20Tutorial . It works, but how do I designate the path of the tool if it's not dropped into the same directory as the tool config xml? Some executable may not be in the directory. Surely it couldn't possiblely be the case with external tools like BLAST, isn't it?! But looking at the BLAST config xmls I couldn't make out the difference and I didn't find any documentation on how to designate the path of the tool. Help appreciated, thank you.

Normally on a Unix/Linux system you'd just put the tool on the path (or add the tool's location to the system path). Peter
