[Bioperl-l] Bio::SeqIO::staden::read make test error

[Aaron J. Mackey]

Congratulations and thanks for following all of the advice already 
given on the list.  It looks like you hit all the major bases.  Just to 
confirm, you copied os.h and config.h into the installation directory 
*after* you ran configure with io-lib, yes?

> read.xs: In function `staden_write_trace':
> read.xs:32: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
>

Here's the source of all subsequent errors: read.xs could not be 
compiled.  Now you get to read line 32 (which may not actually be the 
literal line 32, because of various #line preprocessor directives) and 
see what pointer type is being referenced.  Usually this is indicative 
of something being wrong with the .h files that declare the types.  Did 
io-lib itself build and install cleanly on your platform?

Good luck,

-Aaron
