Hello Will (perlboy_emeritus),
whilst I also have an iMac/Montonery, I went down another road aside the
"recommended" Debian one not bothering about version numbers: Arch Linux
running Gnome/Wayland. I installed the packages using yay as listed below.
All seems to work fine until here:
pdl> use PDL::Graphics::Simple
pdl> imag (sin(rvals(200,200)+1))
Trying pgplot (PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT::Window)...Error in tempfile() using
template pgg_pgplot_XXXX: Could not create temp file pgg_pgplot_pvTW:
Permission denied at
/home/th6mas/perl5/lib/perl5/PDL/Graphics/Simple/PGPLOT.pm line 50.
Looking at the code in Line 50:
use File::Temp qw/tempfile/;
....
# Module loaded OK, now try to extract valid devices from it
my ($fh,$tf) = tempfile('pgg_pgplot_XXXX');
close $fh;
I thought this should be easy to fix. Any hits are much appreciated.
I have perused https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=11153860 and will indulge
when Arch fails, too.
Regards, Thomas
