My apologies all for slow response. Reason for delay: index creation so
queries would run faster. Ying, Ted, help/support much appreciated.
Here's my situation as it stands:
Instructions to install UMLS-Interface, and UMLS-Similarity.
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake installUMLS-Interface:
Commands 1 and 2 - success;
Command 3 - error still persists;
then, hoping that test error is only because of File::Spec package and assuming
that all other packages installed alright, proceeded to...
Command 4 - success.
UMLS-Similarity:
all 4 commands - success.
Run test query:

You have requested path information about a concept. In order to obtain this
information we need to create an
index or resubmit this command using --realtime. Creating an index can be very
time-consuming, but once it is built your commands will run faster than with
--realtime.
Do you want to continue with index creation (y/n)y
