[Bioperl-l] Installation of Bioperl1.2

[Eley Greg]

I too had issues installing BioPerl 1.2 through CPAN on Redhat 8.0.

cpan> install B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-1.2.tar.gz (second attempt)
Running make for B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-1.2.tar.gz

What do tests 14 & 18 of RootIO and test 2 of BioGraphics need?  Is this 
a common error?  Should I down load and make myself as Vicky is trying 
to do?  Thanks.
