bioperl install problems

mcs127 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Anyone have any idea how to install BioPerl? I've been trying for about a week - I seem to have intalled it in 5 different places on my machine /Library/Perl/5.8.6/Bio /sw/lib/perl5/5.8.6/Bio /Users/mcs2/lib/Bio When I run the bptutorial.pl program to test, some pass - some fail. I am beyond frustrated. Any help - advice appreciated. Thanks Martin

I installed bioperl using this script. It'll do a fresh install of everything needed for bioperl, but it is "forced", so it will take some time... `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use CPAN; CPAN::Shell->force('install', "Bundle::BioPerl", "Bio::Seq", "Bio::SeqIO::staden::read", "Bio::Factory::EMBOSS", "Bio::Tk::SeqCanvas", "Bio::DB::Annotation");` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You'll probably get more helpful answers if you describe in more detail what you have tried, and what exactly is failing.	[reply]
