[Bioperl-l] problems with a few packages

[Michael Gooch]

noticed mention of optional packages not being installed and tried to 
install them.

can't install the following packages, cpan claims there is an error 
while running make. OS is mac snow leopard. I have installed several 
linux command line tools for various dependencies using macports. I 
couldn't possibly list them all from memory, but when I find that I need 
something normally found in linux that mac doesnt have, I try to get it 
with macports.
