No problem.

Ah, right, they need VDB; please try adding a build dependency on
libncbi-vdb-dev and removing --without-vdb from the configure command
line.  Also, you can perform a more targeted build by adding
--with-flat-makefile and then changing the build command to

cd c++/*/build && make -f Makefile.flat app/igblast/

where the trailing slash is mandatory.  (This approach will still yield
some ancillary binaries, namely internal builds tools.)

OK, thanks. :-)

Great, thanks!

That's fair; you can leave the build static for now and I'll take care of
those adjustments when I get a chance.  Likewise for portability issues,
though as noted you probably won't have to look far for patches.
