[Bioperl-l] Trouble installing bioperl-db on MacOS X... Help?

[Hilmar Lapp]

Hi Cody,

it seems like bioperl-db fails to connect to your database, or it  
connects but doesn't have a database selected (in MySQL connecting  
without setting the database is legitimate) and so as soon as it wants  
to execute a statement it fails. Have you set your connection  
parameters in t/DBTestHarness.conf?
