Subject: [Perldl] PDL TriD and PGPlot


I was only using the matrix operations defined in pdl up to now but I
decided to try to explore its 3d plotting capabilities (instead of using
matlab right away). However I am having trouble in installing either the
TriD or PGPlot packages. The ppm package for PDL does not include TriD and I
have failed in installed PGPlot for sometime, though I have installed its
external dependencies (which is extutil-77 as cpan says) I still cant
install it due to external dependency problems..

----------------------------------------------

You want the ppm packages from the Uwinnipeg repository - not from the 
ActiveState repository.

You'll find ppm packages for both PDL and PGPLOT at 
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx (for perl 5.10 only) and 
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ (for perl 5.8 only).

If your running ActivePerl 5.10, I think you'll need build 1002 or later for 
PGPLOT to work. (Build 1001 might also be ok ... not sure.)

PGPLOT also doesn't work with some of the later builds of ActivePerl 5.8 
unless a patched version of DynaLoader.pm is installed. It's easy to fix - 
let us know if you need details about that (or anything else, for that 
matter).

Cheers,
Rob
