There are free versions of VMWare. >>> What is serial testing? >> >> Serial as in one after another: >> (1) test with Ubuntu >> (2) test with CentOS >> (3) test with Solaris >> (4) test with FreeBSD >> ... > > > Ok.

I think you'll find that the instructions are very much the same for all the different unix type platforms. Once we have working build directions for each platform, we can make sure that the upstream packages are built for each. Then it will just be 'pkgmanager install PDL' on each. Automation can be done to further reduce the user effort but the first step is that PDL build 100% of the time on the standard platforms. It doesn't work to have it build "most of the time" and fail for unknown reasons.... Yes, the ultimate goal is the most difficult install for PDL would be "cpan PDL". --Chris >> Core PDL (without any external dependencies) should >> build just fine.
