Author Name: Lizhe Xu (Lizhe Xu) Original Redmine Issue: 3300, https://redmine.open-bio.org/issues/3300 Original Date: 2011-10-06 Original Assignee: Bioperl Guts

I tried to install Bioperl-run 1.00600 with ppm v4.01 in ActivePerl version 5.8.8.820 on my WinXP machine but got the following error message. ERROR: Can’t extract to C:\DOCUME~1\lxu\LOCALS~1\Temp\ppm-jidlU0/BioPerl-Run-1.006000_001.0.0/blib/man3/Bio::Factory::EMBOSS.3

I posted a help message on perlmonks.org and got an answer: I would have thought that can only be a packaging error. As far as I know there is no way to name a file with embedded colons: Bio::Factory::EMBOSS.3 on Windows. You should probably report the problem to whichever repository you downloaded the package from.

I got similar error message for BioPerl-db and BioPerl-network as following: ERROR: Can’t extract to C:\DOCUME~1\lxu\LOCALS~1\Temp\ppm-7IxeVZ/BioPerl-DB-1.006000_001.0.0/blib/man3/Bio::BioEntry.3 ERROR: Can’t extract to C:\DOCUME~1\lxu\LOCALS~1\Temp\ppm-XR5LjG/BioPerl-Network-1.006000_001.0.0/blib/man3/Bio::Network::Edge.3 Please help. Thanks.

man page generation should be turned off for windows. Unfortunately, we don’t have many users or devs who use Windows at the moment, but we could try to update the PPM and see if we can disable man page generation.
