Hi Zhiliang,

Did you copy and paste that command?  I just checked it on both my
Ubuntu and Mac OS 10.5 computers and it gives the expected answer
("1.7", but with no line feed, so it looked like this: "1.7sloan:~
cain$", where the command prompt is "sloan:~ cain$").  Since you are
installing in /usr/local, I would expect to find the bioperl modules
in /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/Bio/ or similar.

Scott
