I pretty much agree with all of that.
But I'm not so sure that the blame for the difficulty experienced should be 
attributed to PDL.
Perhaps it should instead be attributed to the operating system itself ... 
or to plplot (which, iirc, was your main stumbling block).
In any case, I'm probably making a somewhat moot point, as it will be 
*deemed* to be the responsibility of the PDL developers to fix the 
situation.

I said "pretty much agree with all of that" because I *do* wonder whether it 
was in fact all that difficult for Ilya, or whether it's just that he tried 
to install PDL on a day when his energy levels weren't particularly high.

I guess I'm just lucky that I'm on Win32, where plplot won't build at all 
(afaik ... someone please correct me if I'm wrong), so I don't have to worry 
about it, and things are so much simpler ;-)

Cheers,
Rob
