[Bioperl-l] problems with installing Bioperl on OSX

[Madis Metsis]

Hi!

I am installing Bioperl on a OSX machine and get this message:
*****
Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.

It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before
building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain
these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case,
please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It
usually solves this kind of problem.

(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find 
"/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/perl.h")
****

Thats true, perl.h is not in right place, since both Apple preinstalled and 
current Serverlogistics installer are not placing it in that place.

How do I get around it. To install Perl AGAIN having 2 copies already on 
machine sounds....
Is there a line in Makefile.pl that could be modified to "show" to location 
of perl.h and the rest of perl.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help
