[Bioperl-l] bioperl on MacOS X... a beginner's problems...

[Jason Stajich]

I'm not clear if the fink pkg is up-to-date and actually installs
everything.  Start with the docs on bioperl website which describe how to
install - it is as simple as downloading the pkg:
% wget http://bio.perl.org/DIST/bioperl-1.2.1.tar.gz
unpacking it
% tar zxf bioperl-1.2.1.tar.gz

and setting the PERL5LIB variable in your path
(add this line to your .cshrc)
setenv PERL5LIB "$HOME/bioperl-1.2.1"

(of course you can move things to a different directory and install things
in the system directory following the INSTALL directions which say you
should do:
% perl Makefile.PL
% make
% make install
but if you just want to play around with things, this is the most simple
way to get started)
