This doesn't appear to be an error message.

According to this output, only the gd_oo_test.t test failed.
When I am building from the cpan shell, I usually do a

  look PDL

to get a shell in the build directory.  There you can use
the line

  perl -Mblib perldl

to try running the perldl shell with the just built version
to check things out without disturbing anything else.  If
it is good to go then you could 'make install' there or
exit back to the cpan shell and do a 'force install' there
to ignore the failing test(s).

I recommend giving more time for feedback.  We have a
number of folks who have successfully install PDL on
linux systems.  They will probably have some thoughts
on the matter if you give them time for a response.
(Note: time for a response is measured in days and
not hours or minutes)

Good luck,
