[ensembl-dev] Local installation

[Andy Yates]

Hi there,

local::lib is sometimes a way of getting in Perl dependencies when you don't want to install to a centralised system location. However if you're having to force your CPAN installations then this is really bad & without any kind of debug messages impossible to diagnose why. Do you find you have issues with a particular module or a type of module (C based, pure Perl or all)?

Have you tried installing the dependencies using the inbuilt Linux package management tool e.g. yum or apt?

We're packaging Ensembl for the latter, but this effort is not quite complete. Having said that, other than BioPerl and Bio::DAS::Lite, I'm not aware of current Perl module issues. What exactly are your symptoms?
