[Bioperl-l] bptutorial.pl won't run

[Sam Al-Droubi]

Philip,
   
  I am relatively new to Bioperl but I remember having problems installing it using CPAN so I installed it using make as described http://bioperl.open-bio.org/SRC/bioperl-live/INSTALL under section

 INSTALLING BIOPERL THE EASY WAY USING 'make'
  I installed version 1.5.1 and I completed an entire project with it without any problems.  I also remember installing the Bundle::Bioperl.  
  I think you should install the bundle first.  I also think it is ok to force the install since a few tests will fail with Bioperl but that's ok in most cases.   The book Mastering Perl for Bioinformatics talks about installing Bioperl if you have it. 
   
  You can get verion 1.5.1 from here  http://bioperl.org/DIST/ 
  The filename is bioperl-1.5.1.tar.gz
   
  Hope this helps.

Hello,

Would anyone be able to help with the following.

version of bioperl: Distribution B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-1.4.tar.gz
platform: OS X 10.4.5
What trying to do: Install core bioperl modules, then run bptutorial.pl.
Code that gives the error: Following installation steps:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell;
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan> q
sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell;
cpan> install B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-1.4.tar.gz
cpan> q
sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell;
cpan> force install B/BI/BIRNEY/bioperl-1.4.tar.gz
cpan> q

Tried to run bptutorial.pl from its directory,

/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 directory
Note: first changed two lines in bptutorial.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
to
#!/opt/local/bin/perl

philip-terrys-power-mac-g5:/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 mterry$
perl -w bptutorial.pl 1
Example 1 uses files in t/data
Directory t/data not found
philip-terrys-power-mac-g5:/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 mterry$

Note: permissions are 444 for bptutorial.pl
Reset to 555, got same output, still won't run.



Question:
What to do to get bptutorial.pl to run on this system?

Thanks,
