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

[Thomas Keller]

Stefanie,
This sounds like your perl is not configured to look in the directory 
where fink is installing the modules.
You can inform perl where they are by adding:
use lib '/my/fink/perlmodulesdirectory';
to your script, then
use Bio::SeqIO; or whatever should work.

Refer to Jason Stajich's message for a more "universal" fix.
Also, from the command line, check @INC by typing:
% find `perl -e 'print "@INC"'` -name '*.pm' -print
## finds all perl modules in @INC, pipe to grep to find a specific 
module

good luck,
Tom K.
