[Bioperl-l] bioperl-ext make problems

[Patrice Seyed]

Hello,

I'm getting error when trying to install bioperl-ext, wondering if you could
point me in the right direction. I run -eshell and -MCPAN, and then try to
install the module:

CPAN.pm: Going to build B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-ext-1.4.tar.gz

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Bio::Ext::Align
ERROR from evaluation of
/root/.cpan/build/bioperl-ext-1.4/Bio/SeqIO/staden/Makefile.PL: Can't locate

I then installed I/IN/INGY/Inline-0.44.tar.gz without complaint, and tried
again:

cpan> install B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-ext-1.4.tar.gz
Running make for B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-ext-1.4.tar.gz
  Is already unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/bioperl-ext-1.4
  Makefile.PL returned status 512
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install


Another thing worth noting is that I had to do a force install for bioperl,
bioperl-run, bioperl-db, bioperl-microarray, and bioperl-gui, because of
make test errors for each one. I am running perl v5.8.6 and RHEL 3 variant
with the 2.4.21-4.0.1.ELsmp kernel. Thanks in advance for any tips of this
problem or getting around this type of problem.
