In my quest to learn PDL, I am trying to create simple 2D arrays of z
values and plotting them, kinda like possible with this little R
program at http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=27
I have several questions in this regard, from the simplest, most
complex to the most complex but possibly simplest --
1. How do I do the above?
2. How do I determine what PDL sub-modules I have already installed?
3. How do I install PDL::Graphics::TriD on a Mac with Leopard 10.5.8?
I don't have this particular module installed, and when I tried to, I
got a boatload of error messages, so many that I don't know even where
to start. How do I capture these messages so I can try to trace back
as to what is failing? The final message from the failed cpan session
is
_XS_PDL_plgcol0a in PLplot.o
_XS_PDL_plParseOpts in PLplot.o
_XS_PDL_plAllocGrid in PLplot.o
_XS_PDL_plAlloc2dGrid in PLplot.o
_XS_PDL_plstripc in PLplot.o
_XS_PDL_plgriddata in PLplot.o
ld: symbol(s) not found

/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Failed during this command:
CHM/PDL-2.4.4.tar.gz : make NO
cpan[2]>
By the way, the little R program I linked to above just works. I
downloaded the program and opened it in my installation of R 2.9.0 and
it created the graphics that I then proceeded to tweak and adjust. For
many reasons I understand PDL can't be that easy to get started, or
could it be?
Many thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions.
