[BioSQL-l] bioperl-db failing tests

[Michael Muratet US-Huntsville]

Greetings

I am trying to install bioperl-db in preparation for installing a biosql database. I'm running on a Dell PowerEdge with quad dual-core Xeons and RedHat Enterprise v4 and perl 5.8.5 and bioperl 1.5.1.  I have installed mysql v5.0.21 from source with --with-innodb set for the configuration. I installed bioperl-db from cvs. I have the latest DBI and DBD:mysql installed a few weeks ago from CPAN. The installation has been working well with perl otherwise, for example, the Ensembl core API works OK. SHOW ENGINES indicates that innodb is enabled.  I have attached a snippet from the top of the output below. I searched the web and the bioperl-db list and haven't found anything that appears to be relevant. I've done several of these installs and they've pretty much completed without a single glitch. Does anyone have any ideas how to isolate the problem?

Thanks

Mike
