I see.  :-(

That works, but it requires something like a 50MB download just for
the dependencies. :-(  I was hoping to avoid some of that. Anyway, I
have added instructions to get Devel::REPL on Ubuntu.


Personally I'm satisfied with the Ubuntu instructions as they are now.
 They cover almost 100% of PDL's functionality with only NDF and Proj4
missing and I think I'll skip those:

* NDF requires the Starlink library which is huge (750MB download, 3GB
unzipped) and I can't provide simple instructions.

* When I tried to install Proj4, it completely broke the PDL install.
Very scary. So even if I get it to work I won't feel comfortable with
it.


So I'm going to leave the Ubuntu instructions as they are and try to
write instructions for Fedora. I don't know how many distributions
I'll cover in total. The Ubuntu instructions took me a full day to
write and test properly.

Cheers,
Daniel.
