This looks great. However, your software is only available for Mac and Windows users. Can you make the source available to us Linux users?

Thank you for using SAMMate!

We are planning to make the software available to Linux users, but the release date has not been decided yet. Once the Linux version is ready, I will let you know.

Hi xuguorong,
I installed SMMAte 2.4 on Windows xp machine when I tried to launch the program I get a message saying SAMMAte encountered a problem and needs to close. There may be a bug. Could please you look into it.

Thanks

Hi Balat and Bioinfo,

I am sorry for this bug on Win XP machine!
We met this kind of problem on Win XP machine before and it was caused by some .dll files missing on Win XP OS. But these .dll files are included in Win vista and 7 by default, so SAMMate does not have such problem on Win Vista and 7.

I will try to fix this problem soon and let you know.
Thank you for using SAMMate!

DLLs

Hello Xuguorong,

This programs looks very useful and we would love to have Linux version but in the meantime, could you point us to a location for the missing DLLs and where to install them while you work on a fix?
