BLAST stand-alone instalation

[nicedad]

Hello everyone,
Since days am trying to install blast locally on my machine using cygen.
I downloaded and gezipt blast 2.2.24 normaly including all files.
Then as per NCBI instruction, I created .ncbirc file in bin directory.
Unfortunately, wen I try to fromat database using formatedb command, I get the following error message (cannot execute binary file)

I really fed up, can anyone help?
best

Check execute privileges or just try:

Chmod a+x yourbinaryfile

From memory I think the 'formatdb' command is with previous versions of blast. Blast 2.XXX uses 'makeblastdb' , which does the same thing but with more options.

Do you have 32 bit linux and try running 64bit or solaris version? -> then use 32 bit version (not 64 bit one), otherwise check platform compatibility and dowbload correct version of the file for your's platform.

Thanks for everyone who responded.
I installed it on Win, much easier
