You are mixing apples and oranges, and in this case, it is particularly problematic. SciPDL installs (afaik) against Apple provided perl which is in /usr/bin. I am going to assume that you already have PDL installed (perhaps you installed it yourself) under /usr/local/bin. Check the paths. Correct the paths, and you should be ok. > I tried installing from CPAN.

If you want to use your own installed PDL, then, yes, that would be the way I would go about it. Here is what I did. I installed PDL using macports. The current version of PDL available on macports is 2.4.6. It gets installed in /opt/local/bin/ Then, against macports advise, I downloaded the PDL 2.4.10 source and manually compiled it. Because /opt/local/bin is in my path before /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, everything worked well for me. -- Puneet Kishor _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
