[ensembl-dev] DumpMultiAlign.pl Problem

Dear Fenix

You are using the wrong version of the API. The error message you get 
says you are using the API version 69. This will be the next API version 
and it is still under development. Importantly, the script relies on the 
API version to find the matching core databases. In this case, the 
script is trying to connect to the human database 69 when this does not 
exist yet.

You can easily fix this problem by "updating" your CVS version to the 67 
API (remember that we always recommend to use matching API and database 
version). This command (run in each main API directory) should do the trick:

cvs up -r branch-ensembl-67

I hope this helps

Javier
