Hi Bob,<br>
<br>
I recently hit the same issue and in the end I reverted to an older
version of libwww (<a
href="http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.814.tar.gz"
class="external-link" rel="nofollow">http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.814.tar.gz</a>).
<br>

of libwww as it will break other functionality</blockquote>
Could you install an older vesion to a separate lib dir and use it only
for Ensembl?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<div>Hi All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is my first attempt at installing and configuring an
Ensembl/BLAST/BlastView resource from scratch, and I've come unstuck
when running the blast_database.pl script. I'd be grateful for any
(gentle) pointers/solutions. The script fails with:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Base class package "LWP::Parallel::UserAgent" is empty.<br>
(Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package
first,<br>
or make that module available in @INC <snip></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've tried to install the LWP::Parallel::UserAgent module from
CPAN, but it fails its tests and hence doesn't install. The problem can
be traced to an incompatibility between the newer version of
libwww-perl package that comes with the Ubuntu "Lucid" (10.04.3)
platform that I'm using. The distro has a libwww version of 6.03,
whereas the last version with a working UserAgent module seems to have
been 5.814. I've tried a fix and a patch recommended at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=40261">https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=40261</a>, but to no avail. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, what do people do in such a situation? I'm loathe to remove
my distribution's version of libwww as it will break other
functionality, so what do others in the community do here? Seeing that
the UserAgent code appears to have been dormant since 2004, surely this
must be a reasonably common problem (though Google doesn't seem to
suggest this).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for any help,</div>
<div>Bob<br>
</div>
