[Bioperl-l] Problems with Bioperl-ext package on WinVista?

[Robert Buels]

Jonny,

For quicker help you might want to try #bioperl on freenode.

That said, the problem here is that when you get code from subversion, 
you are not really 'installing' it, you are just copying it to your 
machine.  Part of the installation process is compiling these things, 
and for that you need a working C compiler.

I don't know anything about using BioPerl on Windows, but as a general 
recommendation I would say go back to the CPAN and/or ppm directions and 
getting those working.

Rob
