I've been packaging the perl-PDL package for Fedora as well recently, so we have flexibility. Currently the way I'm packaging PDL is to copy in plplot.pd and plplot.t from the PDL-Graphics-PLplot tarball into the PDL 2.4.4_05 distribution. At this point, I have to strip the VERSION line from plplot.pd or make check for PDL fails with a object version mismatch error from DynaLoader.pm. I guess another possibility is to strip PDL::Graphics::PLplot completely from the PDL package and package it separately. But I don't want to do this if the main PDL package will eventually catch up. It kind of drives me crazy that there are two separate releases for ostensibly the same thing. I mean, at some point the main PDL release will contain an up to date version of the PLplot package that will work too, then your test will need to be updated to handle that PDL version as well. So, any suggestions welcome. Currently the perl command above returns "" because the VERSION line is removed. - Orion -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
