I am running into some issues trying to install a software called MEAD . I would appreciate if someone could have alook .
I get the following error while installing
/mead/bin # ./mead.pl GA3
Using system rc-file: /home/karosh/mead/bin/../.meadrc
Warning: Can't find user rc-file Cluster: /home/karosh/mead/bin/../data/GA3/GA3.cluster
open2: exec of /home/karosh/mead/bin/driver.pl failed at ./mead.pl line 230
THe mead software is not written by me so I have not changed any of the perl scrips . I line 230 in the driver.pl file is
sub run_mead {
my %options = @_;
my $reader = FileHandle->new();
my $writer = FileHandle->new();
unless ( open2($reader, $writer, "$FindBin::Bin/driver.pl") ) {
die "Unable to run MEAD.\n";
}
...
...
}
Does this error mean that open2 was not found . The mead folks have put the following line in the file:
use strict;
use File::Spec;
use FileHandle;
use IPC::Open2;
Or does it mean that i need to install the rpm that contains the API . I see that this API is a part of the core perl bundle http://perldoc.perl.org/IPC/Open2.html. So why was it not installed ? Do i need to install perl again .
Someone has earlier faced this problem - http://www.summarization.com/~radev/mead/email/0160.html but the solution is not working for me . I find no Perl files with the incorrect perl directives . The mead team has been dissolved and there is no one to ask questions but I need to use this software.
I think if some one can explain me the meaning of the error than I can do deeper. Anyone?
