Hi Puneet- This looks like anything but an install attempt for PDL-2.4.6_011.tar.gz. With as many external dependencies as PDL has, one won't usually have much luck just trying any old thing and hoping things work. :-( I *strongly* recommend trying only one thing at a time. For example, as was recommended, if you want to try to build the CPAN developers release, just do a plain, no changes, build with the current external configuration that, presumably, works already. If it does not, I don't recommend trying your own PDL build until you get a vanilla version working. That said, I notice from some of the errors reported it appears that you are building PDL with another PDL in your path. That is bound to cause problems. Some of the old stuff is from your previous OS/hardware which makes things worse as far as building PDL goes. You might consider a completely clean setup if you wish to be building PDL from scratch. At the very least, go through all the dependencies listed in the DEPENDENCIES file in the PDL top level directory. You should confirm that all of those are the correct version and platform for your current setup. That should help a lot with the mysterious and many failures you have been seeing due to such version skew. Good luck, Chris _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
