Trouble installing VEP

Dear all, I would like to install on my Ubuntu 14.04 Variant Effect Predictor and I have still trouble during installation. Very interesting is that I have vep installed on the same linux distribution with no troubles (biolinux).

After perl INSTALL.pl

I have message:

Created MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json
Creating new 'Build' script for 'Bio-DB-HTS' version '1.11'
Module::Build version 0.42 required--this is only version 0.4003 at ./Build line 41.
ERROR: Shared Bio::DB:HTS library not found

After trying install separetly Bio-HTS I have error:

> *** Building Bio::DB::HTSlib *** Created MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json Creating new 'Build' script for 'Bio-DB-HTS' version '1.11'

Please do you have any idea how to avoid this error mesages?

Thank you so much.

error message says your Module::Build version is 0.4003 and you should upgrade it to 0.42

Very easy fix is:

sudo perl INSTALL.pl --NO_HTSLIB
