[Bioperl-l] Bioperl-ext (staden::read) install issues

[Chris Papadopoulos]

Thanks for the info. make clean, make and make install went OK but  
make test failed. bptutorial.pl was also looking for the t/ files.  
I'm looking for how CATFILE gets set in Bio::Root::IO.pm. I don't  
want to follow the entire trail but it's probably something more  
experienced folks would know. Worse case scenario, I just cp the  
files from the bioperl-ext source directory. Just need to know where to.

Thanks again,
Chris Papadopoulos

[Just as an aside, I really wish I kept notes on the whole process of  
bioperl and friends on OS 10.4. There were some minutiae that the  
online install tips didn't go over. Maybe if I'm feeling particularly  
masochistic after finals. I'll try to throw it on an older box I  
have. Folks on Darwin would benefit...]
