Okey, now I've hit the wall.
My server (Fedora Core 4) didn't like biomart in the beginning but after finally install a new server (and following user-doc by the letter) with
mod_perl statically linked it worked! I used URLpointer as a reg. file.
I could even do the Uniprot queries...

Until I restarted the server.... then it stopped. The following error
seems to be consistently showing up every time i run a script.

syntax error at line 1, column 0, byte 0 at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm

Hi Alexie,
What registry file are you running it with?
This error usually means a syntax problem with xml
Can you send us your registry file and tell us exactly how
you run the configure.pl (ei is it '--clean' etc)


cheers,
a.





And the funny part is that i have tried redownloading biomart from CVS;
reinstalling the server/mod_perl; using our apache 2.0 installation
(which refused to serve webpages before) and i now always get this
message when i run for example biomart-perl/bin/configure.pl

I doubt anything in my perl distribution got touched but I'm not a
learned sysadmin or informatician so I don't really know why installing
broke it. But ehm... I'd like to know if I've really f** it now :-)
Everything else seems to run fine on the system (i don't know if i use
expat though anywhere else).

any words of wisdom welcome
alexie

ps. the installation on my desktop seems to have no problems (anymore),
so it must have been a system specific or something i did!...
