[Bioperl-l] problem of installing bioperl 1.4: 404 NOT found

[Barry Moore]

John-

The INSTALL.WIN document on the bioperl website 
(http://bioperl.org/Core/Latest/INSTALL.WIN)  that step 2 in installing 
BioPerl on Windows is to install external modules.  GD is one of those - 
there are other as well (i.e. see 
http://www.bioperl.org/Core/external.shtml).  You can install GD with ppm:

ppm> search GD

If you don't see GD on the list returned by search add Randy Kobes 
respository which has it:

ppm> rep add Kobes http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/

The search for GD again.  Chose and install a version above 2.0 (I think).

This has other dependencies that you may or may not already have.  
Installation on Windows can be a challenge, but there is an end to the 
trouble, and it does work.   Keep at it and you'll get there.
