[Bioperl-l] Problems installing Bio::DB

[Brian Osborne]

Sudha,

If you want bioperl-db and you must use Windows then you might consider
Cygwin, it's a Unix emulator. Very easy to install, and I've installed and
tested bioperl-db in Cygwin using both Mysql and Postgres (and Postgres
comes with Cygwin, simplifying matters).

Sorry I can't help here since I've never tried to install bioperl-db on
Windows. Can anyone out there who is on the same platform help?
