Hi Sheila,

Please be sure to keep bioperl-l on the Cc so that everyone can follow along
the discussion.

I don't think this is a BioPerl-specific problem. Can you successfully
install other modules from CPAN?

Could you type "o conf" in cpan and paste the results into your reply to
this message?


Dave

Hi Dave,
I've tried the two options and in both cases I got the same error message. I
even restart the server both times in case it could make any difference but
nothing changed.
First attempt:

Type: cpan> o conf makepl_arg ""
Return: makepl_arg
Type: cpan> o conf commit
Return: commit: wrote /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm
Type: cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
Return: error message attached (same as before)

Second attempt:

Type: cpan> o conf defaults
(did not return anything)
Type: cpan> o conf commit
Return: commit: wrote /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm
Type: cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
Return: error message attached (same as before)

I installed Bioperl in Debian Sarge before and I never had any problem with
CPAN but with Debian Etch... Well, I hope you have other ideas.

 
Thanks very much for your help.
 
Sheila

Hi Sheila,

It looks like your cpan configuration has gotten messed up. It's giving
invalid parameters to the make command:


make: *** No hay ninguna regla para construir el objetivo `dual'.  Alto.

  /usr/bin/make dual processor system -- NOT OK


Go to the command line on your system. Enter the cpan shell:

% cpan

Type the following:

cpan> o conf makepl_arg ""
cpan> o conf commit


That should reset the arguments that cpan adds to the make command. If that
doesn't fix your problem, reset everything by typing

cpan> o conf defaults
cpan> o conf commit

and see if that does it.
