[Bioperl-l] Installing bioperl-ext on windows

[Eileen Heo]

Hello,

I am trying to install the latest version of bioperl-ext (Bio::Ext::Align)
on Windows xp.
(I already have the following packages installed up to date: bioperl core,
bioperl db, bioperl gui, bioperl network, bioperl run.)
In the bioperl-ext-1.5.1\Bio\Ext\Align directory, I get the following output
from 'perl Makefile.PL'.

C:\Perl\bioperl-ext-1.5.1\Bio\Ext\Align>perl Makefile.PL

Writing Makefile for Bio::Ext::Align

When I proceed anyways with 'nmake', I get the following errors:

I get the same error as above when I run 'nmake test' and 'nmake install' as
well.
How can this problem be solved so that installing bioperl-ext is successful?

Thank you in advance for any help.
