Dear all, With the risk of exposing that I am new to this, I will tell you about my problems with perl/pdl/pgperl.
I run potato which means that I have the following packages: ii perl-5.005 5.005.03-7.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report ii pgperl 2.15-2 perl interface to the pgplot plotting librar ii pdl 2.005-4 The perl data language. Perl extensions for The problem I get is something like: This module requires PGPLOT version 2.16 or later. Please install/upgrade PGPLOTLOT (see the PDL/DEPENDENCIES file). at /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 188. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/mcstas/mcplotlib.pl line 2. Apparantly (considering that perl-pgplot is identical to pgperl), pdl depends on a newer version pgplot than 2.15. Is there an easy way to avoid this problem? I tried to install 2.17 on my own for example by using alien on an rpm-file, but I ran into problems. For clarity, our program worked fine with slink. Best regards. Per-Olof Åstrand
