Hello All, I am a beginner and I am trying to install a bioinformatics utility(Interproscan) on a Sun Solaris machine. This software is based on Perl packages and I am having problems installing some specific perl modules. Can someone help?? I need to install the following perl modules: Module XML::Parser Module XML::Quote Module Mail::Send Module DB_File Module IO::Scalar Module URI::Escape Module IO::String ------- I have tried installing as per the instructions on http://www.rcbowen.com/imho/perl/modules.html#Installing_modules_on_Unix using CPAN. However I have this error: Writing Makefile for ---(module) -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible I had another error that asked me to declare the LIBEXPAT and LIBEXPATINC path..even after declaring these paths, I could not install the modules.
I don't want to make any assumptions, so can you please tell me whether you are doing the "perl Makefile.pl" method or the CPAN method? Regards, Jeff
