Hello Michael, I don't think the ability to automatically install tools from a tool shed into a local Galaxy instance has been made available in the Galaxy distribution yet. Have you updated you Galaxy instance from Galaxy central? What version of Galaxy are you running? Greg Von Kuster On Oct 24, 2011, at 11:02 AM, Peter Cock wrote:

Good afternoon Peter,

Thank you for your rapid response,

My understanding is that this tool was installed locally from the tool shed, unfortunately I do not know if it was working before the update was performed.

Other tools installed from the tool shed do not seem to report errors, would you have any advice on resolving the small nlstradamus issue that is reported here?

Thanks again for the information.

Michael.

I'm hoping Greg can give some clues. This part suggests Galaxy is trying to read the text readme file as if it were XML:

galaxy.tools ERROR 2011-10-20 13:18:47,722 error reading tool from path: toolshed/nlstradamus/tools/protein_analysis/nlstradamus.txt ... ExpatError: syntax error: line 1, column 0
