Here is my attempt to getting PDL to work in Ubuntu similar to
an already functional version in Arch, see logs below my
personal instructions.
Has anyone encountered similar issues or knows a remedy?
Thanks a lot, Thomas

Hi Thomas,
You will want to install Term::ReadKey and probably
Term::ReadLine::Gnu to have a nicer, more interactive perldl.
I don’t use pdl2 myself, but it did tell you what it needs to
run if you want to use it.
Also, Alien::Gnuplot only installs (or checks for) actual
gnuplot. If you want the PDL interface to it, which
PDL::Graphics::Simple wraps around, you need to install
PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot. This would solve the thing
PDL::Graphics::Simple was telling you: “Sorry, all known
plotting engines failed. Install one and try again.” Please
read

Hello Ed,
as I understand, there a different options to get First Steps
from the PDL book to work. I have adopted the approach using
perlbrewand cpanmas they seem the most stable.
Please find below the sequence of commands issued and the
final error messages under Ubuntu. I used the same approach
on three different Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch)
with the same result.
Is there any chance to reproduce the problem and look into it?
Thanks a lot, Thomas

Hello Ingo,
much appreciate! Just to ask which perl version is most
likely to run the commands from the First Step PDL Book?
@anyone: which perl version is known to work for that
purpose?
Thanks a lot, Thomas

Hi,
I have not really read through the whole thread, I
apologise if this does not apply to your problem then.
I have moved most of the PDL stuff to perlbrew which
allows a fairly system independent installation, it's
berrybrew on windows, I don't own Macs. On linux,
your distribution most probably provides it, I used
apt to install the software itself. The best part
about is, that system (perl) upgrades don't break
your PDL installation. This allowed me to
consistently run things cross platform with no
troubles for a long time.
Run
> perlbrew install <perl version>
> perlbrew install-cpanm
> perlbrew install-patchperl
It takes a fair amount of installation time and I
guess disk space, defaults to your home.
Please consult the perlbrew docs for the exact
process, this is I think the most useful info:
https://perlbrew.pl/Perlbrew-and-Friends.html. Once
you are set, use
> perlbrew switch ...
> cpanm PDL::Graphics::Simple
I guess you may need to install a few dependencies
that are either ambiguous or simply missing using
cpanm from the same shell. I don't remember if P:G:S
comes with a default backend or if you need to, for
example, install gnuplot.
I hope this helps.
Ingo

on no matter on which platform but with the least
number of steps?

Hello Thomas (ngO177),
I encountered a similar problem building PDL
2.083 and 2.084 in macOS Monterrey, to wit:
getting PDL::Graphics::Simple to work, or
even to pass its build tests. Rather than
repeat the odyssey I went through here I
suggest you read the write-up I did at
perlmonks that documents the build debug process:
https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=11153860
I posted this as open-issue #450 at PDL
meta-cpan, but alas, no one from PDL dev has,
as yet, bothered to read it. In a nutshell,
you need a graphics engine on your machine
and if there isn't one, or PDL can't find it,
the Alien process (since a graphics engine is
defined in PDL-speak as an alien process)
will find one appropriate to your OS on the
net, download and build it for you. Alas, for
macOS Monterrey, Alien built a crippled
plotting engine. It failed to un-comment any
of the three #ifdef terminal definitions that
support graphics in macOS. Thus, no terminal
def for macOS was compiled into gnuplot. The
fix, for me, was to rtfm the build docs,
initialize the environment to point to my
preferred graphics engine (gnuplot, built by
me with macports rather than Alien), and
enable interactive build tests. To be fair
to PDL developers, this is all documented in
the PDL build instructions and 'man gnuplot',
but most of us take the ease of building Perl
modules for granted and don't bother to read
them unless something goes wrong. Alien is a
brilliant idea but at present its execution
in PDL is flawed. It attempts to
transparently obtain for you an appropriate
graphics engine but fails to build it
correctly. With a little hacking you can get
around this, I did, but as always, your
mileage will vary. I would very much like to
hear from you after you have read the
perlmonks post and evaluated my solution in a
Linux context. My PDL in Monterrey is now
working correctly, so I held off trying to
build PDL in Ubuntu, but if nothing works for
you I will give it a try.

Will Schmidt (perlboy_emeritus)
