Problems installing PDL

2006-01-11 Thread John Delacour
Every attempt I've made over the past 3 years to install PDL has 
failed, including the last attempt I have just made, but this time I 
seem to be quite close.   I wonder if anyone can advise.


(for Joel Rees' instruction ... is an ellipsis )

The error I get both when I use CPAN and when, later, I try without 
CPAN, is the same in both cases:


Can't locate PDL/Config.pm in @INC (@INC ...
BAD2_demo.pm.PL line 12.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at BAD2_demo.pm.PL line 12.
make[1]: *** [BAD2_demo.pm] Error 2
make: *** [subdirs] Error 2
Eremita:~/Downloads_060101/PDL-2.4.2 root#


BAD2_demo.pm.PL line 12. reads:  use PDL::Config; !

Am I doing something stupid or is there an error in the make file?

I finally succeeeded in installing PDL (a great victory after such a 
history of failure!) by manually creating directory PDL in my path 
and putting Config.pm in this folder, which I have now removed.  CPAN 
also reports that PDL is up to date, so let's hope that's true.


Nevertheless I'm curious to know why the install routine did not add 
Config.pm to the path, since what it seemed to be saying is, You 
can't install PDL because you haven't installed PDL!

So, you have perl interpreting your httpd.conf, or you elided the 
actual path in the sections you posted?
