[Bioperl-l] Problem with Bio::SeqIO::staden::read on Mac OS X

[muratem at eng.uah.edu]

Hello

This might not be the correct list for this particular problem, but
hopefully someone can help. I am trying to install ...staden::read on a
Mac OS X 10.4. I tried installing cpan but it wouldn't work so I went to
the manual methods. Perl is on the system and appears to be installed
correctly for a Mac. Bioperl 1.5.2 was installed via fink and appears to
be OK also. I'm trying to install the Bio::SeqIO::staden::read module. I
downloaded the bioperl-ext-1.5.1 tarball from bioperl.org, did the usual
perl Makefile.PL and make and get:

newyork:/usr/local/bioperl-ext-1.5.1 root# make
Makefile:1148: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

A snippet from the Makefile...

The README says you don't have to build the whole package, so I descended
to the staden directory and did a Make and didn't get any problems
reported. But when I did a make test I get:

newyork:/usr/local/bioperl-ext-1.5.1/Bio/SeqIO/staden root# make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"

The missing symbol is apparently from libcurl. I have both libcurl.2.dylib
and libcurl.3.dylib with copies in multiple locations including /usr/lib,
/usr/local/lib and the usual Mac directories. I used the Mac otool to look
at the externals in read.bundle and it references libz.1.dylib and
libSystem.B.dylib. Could this be a case where there should have been a
link to libcurl and wasn't?

I've searched the list and see only the Inline versioning problem (which I
had and fixed). Has anybody seen this problem before or built the module
on a Mac? How did you do it? Is this a question for the Staden list on
sourceforge?

Thanks

Mike
