I don't think I did anything special other than kept banging at it. Besides, it was all done over such a long period of time that I don't even remember all of it. Basically, I started downloading and building every conceivable dependency for PDL. The only one that I was not able to install easily was PLPLOT. Even when I thought I had installed it correctly, PDL kept on choking on it. There might have been a similar problem with HDF, I don't recall properly. Eventually, I just set PDL to not build against PLPLOT and HDF in perldl.conf, and then did a make, sudo make install. I did get the g77 installer from the hpc site I found on SciKarl's website. Everything else was pretty standard. If you want, I can rewrite the above more nicely, but it won't be any much nicer than the above. That's what it really was. > Thanks! > > David > -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= Sent from Madison, Wisconsin, United States _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
