Autarchy of the Private Cave

There’s a Debian-Med project, aiming to

develop Debian into an operating system that is particularly well fit for the requirements for medical practice and research

Debian-Med has several web sites/pages: one at Debian.org (descriptive), and the actual project’s website at debian-med.alioth.debian.org. There’s also debian-med wiki (for developers).

As of nowadays, Debian-Med has released a number of Debian packages, which are grouped into respective Debian Med Tasks. The Biology-dev task, for example, contains MCL and libsbml packages (among many others).

Check this project out - you might find that the software you need is already available as Debian package.
