Thanks Rob. I forgot to install the EU::F77 first. I went back and then reinstalled via the ppm listed in the PDL web page as previously.
What works: Demo pdl Demo 3d - but the GLUT window doesn't close, and if it doesn't close properly then 3d2 will fail. Demo 3d2 - same issue as above. Demo pgplot - can't run more than once or pdl2 shell crashes. If you don't close the window - it will work. Demo OOplot - can't run after pgplot or be run more than once or the pdl2 shell crashes. If you don't close the window - it will work. PDL::Demos::Gnuplot_demo -> run() - but the graphics window stays open - don't know if that supposed to happen or not. Also demo gnuplot does not appear in the listings. Demo transform - partially works. After the point where it performs coordinate transform - the plot windows show up but there is no image in them but the axes have been modified for the new coordinates - i.e. all that you see is a black background with axes labelling. Same issue as above with pgplot/OOplot if the GrWin is closed, the continuation of the demo will crash the pdl2 shell (it exits). The second half of the demo also only partially works - some of the animation works - other portions just show the black background. Demo cartography - doesn't work at all. Demo bad Demo bad2 - same issue with pgplot... Prima works external from the pdl2 shell, but not within it - or at least I don't know how to run it if it isn't the same as running it from the command line. I am wondering if some of the PGPlot issues that I am have are from the initial install? I can try deleting the original PDL install and reinstalling it if you think that it would change the outcome.

Strawberry 64-bit is fine with PDL. If you run 'cpan -i PDL' it should install PDL-2.4.11 (and pre-requisites) just fine. As Mark said, if you install EU::F77 ('cpan -i ExtUtils::F77') beforehand you'll also get PDL::Slatec and PFL::Minuit capability. What you won't get is: a) OpenGL capability - because you don't have the OpenGL library and it doesn't build readily on Strawberry 64-bit; b) FFTW2 capability - because you don't have the FFTW2 library; c) PGPLOT capability - because you don't have PGPLOT, and it doesn't build readily on Strawberry; d)PLplot capability - because you don't have the plplot library; e) PROJ4 capbility - because you don't have the proj4 library; f) GSL cpability - because you don't have the gsl library; g) GD capability - because you don't have this library configured in. (I could be wrong about this - you *might* have GD capability, after all.) With Strawberry Perl 64 bit you can also, however, use PPM to install PDL (and its dependencies) from the sisyphusion repo (http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppmindex.html). Doing so will give you PDL::Slatec and PDL:Minuit, and will also fix a), b), c), d), e), f) and g) - but there's a couple of things to do first. Firstly, you need to check that strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/ppm.xml has set the sisyphusion repo details correctly. (Some versions of Strawberry have it set incorrectly.) It needs to specify: <REPOSITORY LOCATION="http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/"; NAME="Sisyphusion" SUMMARYFILE="searchsummary.ppm" /> (I don't think that "NAME" is all that important, and I don't think the order in which the 3 components appear is all that important - but it does need to specify the LOCATION and SUMMARYFILE correctly.) You also need to be aware that Strawberry's PPM utility apparently doesn't automatically install pre-requisites. To help with that aspect, I recently uploaded a script: http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/scripts/ppm_req If you grab that script and run 'perl ppm_req PDL', it should terminate with a list of 'ppm install' commands that you need to run in order to install PDL and its pre-requisites. It won't mention PGPLOT. It probably should, even though PGPLOT is technically a pre-requisite. (I'll attend to this oversight when the next stable version of PDL is released.) Anyway - if you want PGPLOT capability in your PDL, it's just a matter of 'ppm install PGPLOT'. And I think that should work irrespective of whether PDL was installed via 'ppm' or via 'cpan -i'. If (in the course of doing whatever you do) you uncover any inconsistency with what I've claimed and what actually happens, please let me know.
