[Bioperl-l] Installing Bioperl on Mac OS X 10.5.7

[stephenmcgowan1]

Hi,

I'm new to the mac way of working and programming aswell as the UNIX
(Terminal) environment. I will describe in as much detail as i can as to
what i have done so far in terms of bioperl installation and try to describe
what my problem is.

Ok so first of all i have downloaded and extracted the files BioPerl-1.6.0
and BioPerl-db-1.6.0 from the site. I have these two folders saved in a
folder on my OSX desktop called "ExerciseTwo".

After doing this, i open up Terminal and locate BioPerl-1.6.0.

i then run:

perl Build.PL (i have also tried sudo perl Build.pl)

i then run ./Build test (again tried this with sudo ./Build test)

after running the build test, i receive the feedback:

okay

Ok so going off this i then decide to run the install: ./Build install

This is a segment of the info i receive back in Terminal after the install:

Manifying blib/script/bp_pairwise_kaks.pl ->

mkdir /usr/local/share: Permission denied at
/System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 112

now these bp_files such as bp_nrdb.pl should be installed onto my Unix
somewhere? but i'm not sure if the install has worked, and these files saved
to the made directory, as is the case here:

mkdir /usr/local/share: Permission denied at
/System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 112

is there something wrong with my install? i think /usr/local/share should be
created and then all of these bp_files should go into this folder. Is there
anything that i'm doing wrong here?

Thanks

Stephen.
