Okey, now I've hit the wall. My server (Fedora Core 4) didn't like biomart in the beginning but after finally install a new server (and following user-doc by the letter) with mod_perl statically linked it worked! I used URLpointer as a reg. file. I could even do the Uniprot queries...
Until I restarted the server.... then it stopped. The following error seems to be consistently showing up every time i run a script. syntax error at line 1, column 0, byte 0 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm line 187 And the funny part is that i have tried redownloading biomart from CVS; reinstalling the server/mod_perl; using our apache 2.0 installation (which refused to serve webpages before) and i now always get this message when i run for example biomart-perl/bin/configure.pl I doubt anything in my perl distribution got touched but I'm not a learned sysadmin or informatician so I don't really know why installing broke it. But ehm... I'd like to know if I've really f** it now :-) Everything else seems to run fine on the system (i don't know if i use expat though anywhere else). any words of wisdom welcome alexie ps. the installation on my desktop seems to have no problems (anymore), so it must have been a system specific or something i did!...
