[Bioperl-l] fink and updating bioperl

[Hilmar Lapp]

Why don't you remove the fink bioperl package if you want to install  
a newer version locally?

BTW unless you use a custom-compiled perl your packages will end up  
in /Library/Perl/5.8.6/ (or /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/), not /usr/ 
local, when you issue 'make install'.
