Problems when installing Bio::DB::HTS, possibly due to memory leak

Created by: AndreVidas

Hi Ensembl team.

I'm trying to install Bio::DB::HTS, but I get the following error during the installation:

Do you have any idea of why this is happening? From what I could read from other posts on stackoverflow etc. this might have something to do with memory leak in C.

I have attached a list of my installed modules.
