That's right, yes.

Yeah, no problems with the io_lib install that I could see. Is there an
easy non-Bioperl way of testing that it works?

You'll have to excuse my ignorance (I know very little about inline C
and makefiles) but I couldn't find a file called read.xs- is it deleted
during the make process?

I know Phillip has suggested a workaround, but it would still be nice to
sort out what the problem is.
Roy.
