[Bioperl-l] Re: CPAN install

[Brian Osborne]

Dave,

No idea, though when I do "perl t/DB.t" I also get failures. You can always
do the "force install" and thoroughly investigate after installation. The
Perl.t failure is odd, I'm guessing it's the RefSeq retrieval, but I'm not
sure. I don't think it has to do with your local installation. Same thing
for the RestrictionIO.t failure.

Yes.

I got a little further. It is necessary to type:

  install B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-1.4.tar.gz

It might be worth documenting this in the install instructions or fixing
the distribution so it's not necessary.

But now I get test failures:

My system is Debian Woody with a bunch of backports. Perl 5.6.1.

Any thoughts on why these tests are failing?

Thanks, Dave
