Subject: Re: [Perldl] PDL compilation issue(s)


Thanks Sisyphus.

CPAN was too much work, trying to make the edit.

I'm no fan of CPAN.pm and generally use it only if I'm wanting to install one of those abominations that think it's really cool to have a dependency list 5 miles long. Incidentally, I don't think there was any need for you to start over from scratch again - you could just have gone to the current (failing) build directory and then, after having amended the Basic/Core/typemap, run 'make test' followed by 'make install'. With the Basic/Core/typemap "fixed", the 'make test' should have picked up from where the failure occurred, and carried on as if nothing had happened.

Downloaded PDL-2.4.9_008 and installed.

That's probably the best solution, anyway :-)
Glad you got there !!

Did the Slatec stuff get built ? (It requires a fortran compiler and ExtUtils::F77.) Only reason I ask is that I believe that certain aspects of PDL::Stats work far more efficiently if the Slatec stuff was built. You'll find that PDL/Stats/GLM.pm checks to see whether Slatec is available.

Though to note, after the 3rd pgplot.t test, make test hung. Installed it anyway.

I've no experience regarding this - though I see that Chris has offered some advice.

Cheers,
Rob
