I previously posted a question about this so here is a final
followup.

I found that the problem was just that I had built the blast data from
a FASTA file with no description fields - e.g.

>seq1
CGCGCGC etc
>seq2
CGCGCGCG etc

.....if I changed it to

>seq1 foo
CGCGCGCG etc
>seq2 bar
CGCGCGCG etc

and then rebuilt the blast data (formatdb) , it worked OK

The strange thing is , the PC version I had didn't mind about that.

Cheers
