If you find that the latest PDL sources (from the CVS repository - see http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=612 ) still won't build, please provide the PDL-porters list with details. We (PDL developers/maintainers) can't patch MM_Unix.pm but hopefully we *can* patch PDL so that any MM_Unix.pm bugs don't prevent PDL from building. Cheers, Rob ----- End forwarded message ----- So now what? Still nothing concrete. The version of makemaker in perl-5.8.8 was drastically changed after 5.8.7. Since then, perl up to 5.9.3 has not made any changes in the area that the unofficial patch modifies. I'm going to try the cvs PDL. If it builds with their changes, I'll close the LFS ticket and update the BLFS ticket. If it still doesn't....?? -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
