Hi Pablo,
Yes, you are seeing that typemap bug triggered by the newer version of
ExtUtils::ParseXS. If you are installing PDL from CPAN you can get the latest
developer release which should fix it for you. But you have to specify the
distribution explicitly in this case since it is not a stable release. Here
are the instructions from the 2.4.9_008 release notes:
- Manual build/install is recommended although the
cpan shell may be used by specifying the distribution
path rather than just the module name, e.g.:
cpan> get CHM/PDL-2.4.9_008.tar.gz
cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.9_008.tar.gz
cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.9_008.tar.gz
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.9_008.tar.gz
I think you can also just do a
cpan> install CHM/PDL-2.4.9_008.tar.gz
and that should take care of it.
cheers,
Derek
