[Bioperl-l] Fw: broken Bio::SeqIO in bioperl on OS X (fink)

[Koen van der Drift]

Hi,

I am forwarding this message from a user of the bioperl package installed through fink on Mac OS X. I don't know what it means, so I told him I would ask here. If it's not a bioperl issue, I will check with the fink folks.

thanks in advance,

- Koen.
