(I'm thinking that there might be situations where the library location really does need to be *pushed* onto the *end* of the list.) I find that the following will find and link to /my/path/libmylib.a: LIBS => [undef, '-L/my/path -lmylib'], and so will: LIBS => ['', '-L/my/path -lmylib'], # 1st element is 2 single quotes but the following fails: LIBS => [' ', '-L/my/path -lmylib'], For me, the call (in your Makefile.PL) to %hash = pdlpp_stdargs($package); creates a hash that specifies LIBS => [' '], Perhaps it ought instead specify either: LIBS => [], # My preferred option or LIBS => [''], # Element is 2 single quotes. Then one would be able to push() instead of unshift(). Is it a bug in MakeMaker that allows a first array element of undef or '', but not ' ' ? Or is it a bug in PDL that has pdlpp_stdargs() create a LIBS value of [' '] instead of [] ? Either way, I think the best thing to do would be to have pdlpp_stdargs() create a libs value of [] when it wants to specify the empty array.

Strawberry is also quite good - you could alternatively download and install the g77 package if you ever wanted. (I don't know why they don't include g77 to begin with.)
