[Bioperl-l] Installation problems: solaris

[Denise Abbott]

When installing on this system:
SunOS terra 5.8 Generic_108528-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris

I receive this error while doing make test:

t/DB...................ok 5/33 Batch access test failed.
Error: -------------------- EXCEPTION --------------------
MSG: WebDBSeqI Error - check query sequences!

STACK Bio::DB::WebDBSeqI::get_seq_stream blib/lib/Bio/DB/WebDBSeqI.pm:296

Bio::DB::GenPept.pm!

t/DB................ok 46/33Warning: Couldn't connect to Genbank with
Bio::DB::GenBank.pm!

Don't know which tests failed: got 46 ok, expected 33

The make test continues on from there and at the end says that it has
errors and won't install unless forced.  I looked a bit at the code there
to see if it was some error that I could see, but I don't have time to
look deeper into it, so I was wondering if anyone else could offer some
hints of what to change or whether or not it really IS a problem with the
sequences make test tries to use.

Thanks.
