[Bioperl-l] Installation problems: "unable to remap"

[Jonathan Arthur]

Hello all,

I am having difficulty installing BioPerl. I am running Windows XP 
Professional with cygwin. I am using the CPAN installer to attempt to 
install the Bundle::BioPerl modules.

The installation appears to go relatively smoothly and end normally. It 
does note at the end that there were installation problems with 
File::Spec, GD::SVG, and Data::Stag. Nonetheless, when I try to "use 
Bio::Perl"  Perl cannot find the module and exploring /usr/lib confirms 
the modules are not present.

I then tried installing the problem modules above on the assumption that 
the final installation of Bio::Perl was dependent on these modules being 
successfully installed. The creation of the makefile for GD::SVG dies with:

C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe (800): *** unable to remap 
c:\cygwin\bin\cygfreetype-6.dll to same address as parent(0xE100000) != 
0xEA0000

Data::Stag installation experiences a similar error (with different 
.dll) when trying to install the Tk dependency.

File::Spec installation appears to install fine (bar some failed tests 
because it can't load File::Spec::VMS) and it is present in 
/usr/lib/perl5 so it is not clear what the cpan installation is 
complaining about in regard to this module.

Could anyone assist with these installation problems?

Regards,

Jonathan
