Btw, thanks for all your work in making PDL easy to install in all platforms. This is critical work. Personally, I feel like I cannot recommend PDL to anyone until I can give them a simple and reliable way to install it on whatever OS they are running. > Given that the primary goal for PDL-2.4.7 is to be able to be > built, installed, and used on all the major PDL/perl platforms: > win32, macosx, and *ix/*bsd, this may end up being the main > sticking point for the release once the coding is done... Ok. I guess what I'll do is just make a very basic install page that just links to the wiki (faulty though it is) and wait for the 2.4.7 release to write a proper install page with good instructions. Do you foresee that 2.4.7 will be easy to install in all platforms? Do you foresee that 2.4.7 will be mature enough on Windows that I can give a CD to a colleague and tell them to try it out? > The first thing would be to determine what versions of Mac OS X > that the current SciKarl will build on.

Maybe one of them can help.
