[Bioperl-l] [Bioperl-guts-l] Bug in genbank.pm?

[Chris Fields]

(Just so this is going to the correct list)

Marcos,

I'll look into it.  This may have been fixed in between the releases,  
though.

There isn't a PPM available for 1.6 yet (several prereqs were missing  
at the time of the 1.6 release, such as Graphviz and so on).  A bug  
report is in the queue for this, though, as a reminder.  I think those  
are now available, though, so we should *theoretically* be capable of  
getting a PPM ready.  I say 'theoretically' b/c I don't have easy  
access to a PC running Windows (I have moved to OS X).  I'll see what  
I can do about that in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, if you need it you can download 1.6 or the 'nightly  
build' version (nightly snapshots of svn code) and add it to PERL5LIB  
or "use lib 'PATH_TO_BIOPERL';" in your scripts; it should work.

Nightly builds:
