[Bioperl-l] Error retrieving sequence from BioSQL

[Hilmar Lapp]

Very odd. This is under Windows, presumably using Cygwin?

The method Bio::Root::Root::throw() clearly exists, and  
PersistentObject inherits from it. The exception it was trying to  
throw has nothing to do with failure or success to find the database  
row (actually it did succeed since otherwise it wouldn't construct  
the object) but with dynamically loading a class, presumably  
Bio::DB::Persistent::Seq.

Are you using the 1.5.x release of bioperl?

Does anyone on the list have any experience with these sorts of  
things on Windows?

(Seth, I've moved this thread to the bioperl list, since this is what  
the problem is about.)
