[Bioperl-l] Re: [Bioperl-guts-l] Notification: incoming/1292

[Jason Stajich]

Did you follow the directions in the INSTALL document for setting your PPM
path?
http://bioperl.org/Core/Latest/INSTALL

I believe the messages you are seeing happen when you don't have the
appropriate PPM path and are trying to build from activestate's out of
date pkg.

Also you can always build and install modules the old-fashioned way.

Download the src from http://bioperl.org/DIST, run
% perl Makefile.PL
% make (or nmake in your case)
% make install

Expect to get warnings if you do make test on Windows.
