[Bioperl-l] BioPerl install issues

[Lakshmi Kastury]

Hi -
I went through several failed attempts on MACOS Snow Leopard, and fink was a dead end. Eventually I succeeded to install on Windows Vista using CPAN. I am not sure if this method will work with MACOS:

1. Opened command prompt.
2. Typed command: >perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::BioPerl"
3. Answered yes to the series of questions, which prompts install of several bundles and a compiler.

The instructions were in a link from:
http://bioperl.org/Core/Latest/INSTALL

All the best,
Lakshmi
