I have solved the problem with PDL installation. It had to do with a somewhat ridiculous situation on my machine with a 32-bit Perl installed on a 64-bit architecture. While I did try to force it to build a 32-bit version of the required object files (by using CCFLAGS=-m32), it still didn't install properly. I just installed PDL on a 32-bit machine instead. Thanks a lot for all your help.

I don't know if this is relevant. But I am throwing it out there anyway. I tried to use the PDL::LM module in one of my programs. It crashed with a virtually identical message except that it said something about PL_sv_yes being undefined. I did some research and found that libperl.so did not exist on my machine. I am trying to download a 64-bit version, but don't seem to be able to get it. Would this be related to my problem?

If not there might have been a problem when making. I'm assuming make test went OK too. In the PDL source directory, does 'perl -Mblib -e "use PDL" ' work? (assuming this is the first time you've installed PDL on this machine.) You'll probably eventually need to set your PERL5LIB environment variable, but I don't think that should be an issue now.
