[Bioperl-l] installing bioperl

[Matthew A. Saunders]

Dear Bioperl representative,

I have been trying to install bioperl (in order to ultimately run some 
Ensembl APIs) but I seem to be having some problems with the 
bioperl installation.

I have followed the installation directions and I get to the last steps of 
the "make" process, yet this stage fails with the error message below. 
Can you possibly tell me what is the problem.  I am not sure that I 
understand the command "make", but I think that it requires that there be 
a file named "makefile" in the given folder, when I look in my newly 
formed "bioperl-1.4" folder there is no "makefile" in there.  Perhaps that 
is a problem.  If so, how might I rectify the matter?

Thanks!

Matt

    Enjoy the rest of bioperl, which you can use after going 'make install'

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
