[Bioperl-l] Bioperl-ext (staden::read) install issues

[Jason Stajich]

In os.h did you change
#include <config.h>

to
#include "config.h"

This made a difference for me.
Make sure the the compile commands are actually point to the right  
include path.
i.e. make sure this is correct: -IPATH/TO/IOLIB/INCLUDE/io_lib in the  
gcc stmt below (for your system)

gcc -c  -I/home/jes12/src/bioperl/bioperl-ext-1.5.1/Bio/SeqIO/staden - 
IPATH/TO/IOLIB/INCLUDE/io_lib -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBUGGING - 
fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE - 
D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/gdbm -O2 -g -pipe -Wp,- 
D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 - 
fasynchronous-unwind-tables   -DVERSION=\"1.51\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.51 
\" -fPIC "-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE"   read.c


There appears to be some complaints from Inline::C about version  
numbers not matching and not being parseable.  I just changed things  
to "1.50" instead of "1.5.1" and made sure that in read.pm
the code looks like this:
        use Inline (C => 'DATA',
                     VERSION => '1.51',
                     NAME => 'Bio::SeqIO::staden::read',

instead of this:
        use Inline (C => 'DATA',
                     VERSION => '0.1',
                     NAME => 'Bio::SeqIO::staden::read',

And further down I made this change
$VERSION = 1.51;

instead of
$VERSION = 1.5;


All this to say the ext stuff needs some more TLC to work on  
different platforms and be more generally installable.
