[Bioperl-l] Ace failure

[Jonathan Epstein]

Chris,

What about DB_File ?

Maybe it's installed by default with some Perl installations, but not with ActiveState.  Note that DB_File isn't referenced in Makefile.PL either.

Here's some of the drek which I sent to Ewan:

-----------------------------

OK, moving right along I successfully installed DB_File 1.73 using PPM (this is a cousin of CPAN which often makes installation more reliable for ActiveState Windoze users).  I then did 'nmake clean' and started over again, and ran nmake test again as.
 nmake test >../nmaketestout2.txt 2>../nmaketesterr2.txt

Here are the diffs for the error files from the first two runs:
  6,7d5
< DB_File not installed. This means the Assembly modules are not available.  Skipping tests.
< DB_File not loaded. This means flat.t test cannot be executed. Skipping
192d189
< DB_File not installed. This means the SeqFeatCollection wont work
