Install the Debian package for fftw version 2 (not 3).

I had fftw2 and fftw3 installed. I am going to try again with fftw-dev
and after removing fftw3

You'll need the libhdf4g stuff (not version 5) and you
may need the -dev and/or -run stuff too.  I don't know
the Debian build process.

See http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libhdf4g*

I had the libhdf4g, -dev and -run packages installed. Maybe it was looking
in the wrong place? Mine are here:

/usr/lib/libmfhdf.a
/usr/lib/libmfhdf.so
/usr/lib/libmfhdf.so.4
/usr/lib/libmfhdf.so.4.1r4

If you enable bad value support in the perldl.conf file, look
for WITH_BADVAL => 0, and change the 0 to a 1, more tests should
run---this is not a failure though.

Install a fortran compiler for the Slatec stuff.

I had gfortran, gfortran95, going to retry with gfortran-4.0

Install pgplot5 package from http://packages.debian.org/stable/math/pgplot5

pgplot5 was installed. Could this be another "non-standard install location" issue?

/usr/lib/libpgplot.a
/usr/lib/libpgplot.so
/usr/lib/libpgplot.so.5
/usr/lib/libpgplot.so.5.2.2


Good luck.
Chris

Thanks,
Josh
