[Bioperl-l] Bioperl 1.6

[Guohong Hu]

Thank for you all. The problem is solved. The bioperl 1.4 version is from
the Trouchelle repo, but 1.6 is in the Bioperl Regular Releases repo. When I
added all the repo according to the bioperl wiki instruction, somehow 1.4
became a prerequisite for 1.6. But Chris's question reminded me, so I
removed Trouchelle repo, and the installation proceeded without errors. I
suggested we put a note in the wiki link since it looks like an odd issue
not just for me.

Best,
Guohong

Guohong, 

1.6.1 PPM doesn't (at least, shouldn't) require BioPerl 1.4 to be installed
first.  Make sure the repos are set according to the Windows installation
instructions on the BioPerl wiki:

http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Installing_Bioperl_on_Windows

IIRC the actual order of the PPM repository can be critical (PPM pulls based
on highest version, first repo, but sometimes it gets confused).  Just
curious but where is the v 1.4 PPM located?  If it is local to our PPM repo
I can physically remove it to prevent this from happening.
