[Bioperl-l] problem with bioperl install

[Mark A. Jensen]

Hi Kristina,

[Don't forget to reply-all, so the list stays in the loop. Many many more 
helpers
 there.]

Apparently cpan can't make the Makefile, but can download and expand the
library directories, in your .cpan directory (see edited highlights below).

Let's appeal to the BioPerl brethren/sestren---answers?

dhcp-0019353043-25-35:BioPerl-1.6.0 kristinafontanez$ cpan
Terminal does not support AddHistory.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7602)
ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN')

cpan> install Test::Harness
CPAN: Storable loaded ok

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Test::Harness
    -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

cpan> install File::HomeDir
...[more of same]...
