LWP is not a fink package, but I found another one that uses 
INSTALLSCRIPT which is passed to make install.

Now it works :)

I am also wondering how many external modules I should add to the 
dependencies. I understand that missing modules will only result in 
less functionality for bioperl. One thing I did not put in sofar are 
database related modules. Is that something that most users won't miss? 
Are there other modules that you (or other bioperl developers) think 
are really needed?


thanks again,
