version 1.9 available for download

I've just uploaded the source code together with compiled versions for Mac OSX (intel) and for Debian/Ubuntu (AMD64) of the most recent "stable" version of the software biomc2. They can be downloaded from here, and the installation instruction as well as an explanation about inputs and outputs can be seen here.

I had a problem compiling the static versions because of the cairo library, so the binaries are dynamically linked  - which means they might be useless if you are lacking some library... and notice that the Mac OSX executables are simple command line programs, without any fancy resources.

Just for the sake of completeness, here is where the files are physically located.

I believe the documentation is insufficient, but I will work on that soon. Your feedback is welcome!

Introduction - welcome message

Welcome to the biomc2 blog. I plan to use it as a discussion place for the software biomc2, as described in the PLoS paper doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0002651, but it is OK to discuss related issues, and further developments on the software.

It is intended as a flexible alternative to mail communication, but since this is a discussion place anything can change. I believe a blog would be less intrusive than mailing list, and it is somehow easier to keep track of the topics. You can follow new messages through the RSS feed (you will need a feed reader like google reader, mozilla plugin, etc. - I use the KDE akregator for linux).

The other homepage (http://corn.ab.a.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~leo/biomc2) will be the static version, with download area. (Update 2009 06 16: this homepage was superseded by http://www.biomcmc.org which is now the "aggregator" of information about the software)

Sincerely,
Leo
