The diff between the official debian packages and the ubuntu ones is quite small (the diff is linked on http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pdl.html). I think it should be ok to first try on ubuntu and then apply what you learned there to a one-shot debian try. basic hints: you can use the build-depends of the debian-directory of the PDL source tarball in the following way: r...@host:~> apt-get install pbuilder [...] r...@host:/home/user/pdl-2.4.7> /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends [...] basically, you have now everything installed needed to build a feature-complete PDL. would be good for me to get feedback on how far it works on ubuntu, as I am working and testing only on debian. > - CentOS (covers Fedora and RHEL). > - OpenSUSE. > > The goal is to pick the distros that are most likely to be used by > potential users.

Well, at least in Max-Planck-Institutes, OpenSUSE is widely used. And at least some HPC-Clusters are running SLES, so I think this should be covered. -- c u henning _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
