when my Math::Pari fails
I need a pointer (url, perldoc) to show me how to get finer/more detail info into the tests that are failing i've got perl "-lblib/lib" "-lblib/arch" t/first.t i can't really run it under Perl -d but is there someother method to see what is causing the obstruction?
It sounds as if you're trying to debug your failed build of Math::Pari, and Perl's built-in debugger isn't able to step through the module's low-level (XS or C) code. Is that right? You may be able to use gdb or a similar debugging tool, but you shouldn't need to. If Math::Pari's tests are failing for you, it's probably because it was compiled with a different compiler than your perl binary was compiled with, or there's another reason it's not linking to the correct library in the correct way. If you rebuild and reinstall perl, you should be able to use the same compiler to build and install Math::Pari. In most cases, the default configuration will be all you'll need.
