Sure; let me forward this to the genquire-users mailing list too.

It sounds like it's breaking within GenerateQueryScreen --- that's the
only place I see that refers to a 'latin' function call.  I don't believe
Genquire will work until we input a data source into it.


I used the 'Admin/bulk_parse_contigs.pl' script to import the TIGR XML
files into the database.  I ran 'Admin/bulk_base_contigs.pl', and then the
'Admin/add_tiling_path.pl' preparation script.  Afterwards, Genquire was
able to read the data source, and things started to work.
