[EMBOSS] HELP! fdnapars fails with undefined symbol error - ajSeqdbInit

Everything I have tried has failed.   I have uninstalled and reinstalled 
the entire EMBOSS/EMBASSY suite.  I have booted from the previous 
kernel.  Recompilation is a bit beyond me, I fear - what are the chances 
that this will just be fixed when 11.04 rolls out?  Has anyone else had 
this problem?

What's perplexing is that this has happened on both of my Ubuntu 
systems; there's nothing that was caused by me "tinkering" - this 
happened after the update to 10.10.  Why didn't this get caught - am I 
the only person using Phylip in Emboss Explorer?
