[Bioperl-l] Errors with Bioperl installation

[Scott Cain]

Hi Assistu,

Please keep you replies on the mailing list; if you had you'd probably
had an answer before now.

First when you type "which make" on the command line, what do you get?
 If nothing then make and the developer tools are not properly
installed.  If you get something then the cpan shell may not be
properly configured to use make.  That can happen if you tried to use
cpan before you installed make.  To fix that, when you're in the cpan
shell, type "o conf init" and go through the config again.

Scott
