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

Bio::Tools::Hmm doesn't use HMMER, it uses a C-based extension in  
bioperl-ext that generates HMM's (XS-based bindings I think).  I have  
managed to compile it successfully on Ubuntu and Mac OS X, but  
WinVista is a whole different bag-o-worms altogether (untested AFAIK).

For the record, I do not recommend using it; I'm unsure about it's  
maintenance status, so it may be released separately.  It would be  
best to use something better supported, such as the HMMER wrapper in  
bioperl-run and the hmmer parsers in bioperl-core.  We may also have  
wrappers for similar code available in biolib at some future point.
