[Bioperl-l] SOS----for BioPerl Installing

[Jason Stajich]

So.... are you using OS X or OS 9?

You need to install IO::String, URI, HTML::Parser, and LWP if you want to
use the remote access capabilities.

You can also use the cpan interface which will automatically install
dependancies for you.

Try:
perl -MCPAN -e shell

On OS X you can also use fink to install Bioperl which will also install
the necessary dependancies.
