[Bioperl-l] Bioperl installation problem

[Tejashwari Meerupati]

Hi,
I want to install the Bioperl  (http://bioperl.open-bio.org/wiki/Installing_Bioperl_for_Unix) , I followed the instructions as mentioned in the above said link.
I got an error message as :
************************************************************
Checking installed modules…
XML::Parser is installed , it will be used by the test suite
Checking if your kit is complete …
Looks good
Writing MakeFile for XML::Simple
Make :*** No rule to make target ‘make’. Stop.
/usr/bin/make make – not   OK
Running make test
Can’t test without successful make
Runnings make install
Make bad returned bad status, install seems impossible
 I cannot install the bioperl on my computer, is there any other alternative way to get it installed??

Thanks in advance!!

Regards,
