[maker-devel] install maker on cluster

[Christoph Hahn]

Hello maker-team,

I am trying to install maker 2.25 on a cluster, without root privileges 
(I managed before, but now after migration to a new cluster I cant seem 
to get it to work). All necessary prerequisite programs are installed 
and in the path (I followed the steps in the INSTALL file that comes 
with maker2.25). When I do:  perl Build.PL, I get:
Checking prerequisites...
   requires:
     !  DBD::SQLite is not installed
     !  IO::All is not installed
     !  Inline::C is not installed
     !  Perl::Unsafe::Signals is not installed
     !  Proc::ProcessTable is not installed
     !  Want is not installed
     !  forks is not installed
     !  forks::shared is not installed
   build_requires:
     !  LWP::Simple is not installed
   recommends:
     *  DBD::Pg is not installed

ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES.  You may wish to install the 
versions
of the modules indicated above before proceeding with this installation

Run 'Build installdeps' to install missing prerequisites.

MAKER supports distributed parallelization via MPI.
Would you like to configure MAKER for MPI (This
requires that you have an MPI client installed)? [N ]n

Important Commands:
         ./Build installdeps     #installs missing PERL dependencies
         ./Build installexes     #installs all missing external programs
         ./Build install         #installs MAKER
         ./Build status          #Shows this status menu

Other Commands:
         ./Build repeatmasker    #installs RepeatMasker (asks for RepBase)
         ./Build blast           #installs BLAST (NCBI BLAST+)
         ./Build exonerate       #installs Exonerate (v2 on UNIX / v1 on 
Mac OSX)
         ./Build snap            #installs SNAP
         ./Build augustus        #installs Augustus
         ./Build apollo          #installs Apollo
         ./Build gbrowse         #installs GBrowse (must be root)
         ./Build jbrowse         #installs JBrowse (MAKER copy, not web 
accecible)
         ./Build mpich2          #installs MPICH2 (but manual install 
recommended)

So it seems some Perl Dependencies are missing. As indicated in INSTALL 
I followed the quick and dirty installation for Bioperl, so I am not 
sure what I did wrong/missed out.

When I run ./Build installdeps, I get:
You do not have write access to install missing Modules.
I can try and install these locally (i.e. only for MAKER)
in the .../maker/perl/lib directory, or you can run
'./Build installdeps' as root or using sudo and try again.
Do want MAKER to try and build a local installation? [N ]y

Sorry to bother you with this minor things!! Any help would me much 
appreciated!

much obliged,
