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

[Robert Buels]

Elaborating more, the 'C-compiled engine' error comes because 
Bio::Ext::HMM is not installed, because bioperl-ext is not installed 
(correctly), because Bio::Ext::HMM is an XS extension written in C. 
Which needs to be compiled.  With a C compiler.  As part of some kind of 
installation process, not just copying the files to a machine with 
subversion.
