You just need the 'make' step. > I'm finding on linux (at least) that, with PDL-2.4.3_03, 'make install' is still repeating the 'make' step (or a large portion of it). And I would not be comfortable with a final release that allows 'make test' to run even if there's no blib in existence. The usual thing is that, if 'make test' is run, and there's no blib in existence, then 'make' is run, followed automatically by 'make test'. Doug, you've made some progress here. I've had a look at this problem a couple of times and haven't been able to get anywhere with it at all (but don't let that swell your head - I specialise in ignorance wrt makefiles :-) However, I think we still need to go those extra few yards, and come up with a solution that does *everything* right. Doug, do you know if the answer to the problem lies solely with the top-level Makefile.PL ? Or could there be other Makefile.PL's contributing to the problem ?
