Re: [Plplot-devel] cmake-2.4.5 is now the minimum version and summary of outstanding issues for PLplot/CMake.
Hi Hazen, I believe that the current interface was a joint effort between Doug Hunt and Rafael and that Doug is still maintaining the Perl/PDL interface on behalf of the PDL project. There is an ActiveState PDL package, though it seems a bit old. Has anyone tried to use that in combination with PLplot and PDL::Graphics::PLplot on Windows? I installed ActiveState Perl and the the PDL package, but have no idea how to test how PDL/Perl and plplot come together. My efforts here were not because I need this configuration, I just thought it's as easy as the python and java bindings, so I gave it a try. Werner - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

My efforts here were not because I need this configuration, I just thought it's as easy as the python and java bindings, so I gave it a try. I just committed a change so that ctest actually tested the Perl/PDL interface. To use this set ENABLE_pdl=ON and BUILD_TEST=ON. The result (for CVS HEAD) is that the examples in the examples/perl directory are run using the pre-installed Perl/PDL/PLplot interface. Here are the results on my Debian stable system: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ctest --verbose --tests-regex perl Start processing tests Test project /home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir Constructing a list of tests Done constructing a list of tests Changing directory into /home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/test 7/ 7 Testing examples_perl Test command: /bin/bash -c EXAMPLES_DIR=/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/examples\ SRC_EXAMPLES_DIR=/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/plplot_cmake/examples\ PLPLOT_LIB=/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/plplot_cmake/data/\ ./plplot-test.sh\ --front-end=perl Testing front-end perl PLplot library version: 5.3.1 Can't open pnm fileconverter error: at /usr/lib/perl5/PDL/IO/Pnm.pm line 77 -- Process completed Passed The following tests passed: examples_perl 100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 1 I got rid of that fileconverter error by excluding example 20. Apparently, it is having trouble finding lena.pgm. Note the ancient library version. That's because libplplot is a dependency of the Perl/PDL PLplot interface so Debian stable installed its (ancient) system version of libplplot to satisfy that dependency. Werner, please give this a try again. I am most interested whether your new experiment finds the PLplot interface in ActiveState Perl/PDL. Alan __ Alan W.

If PDL::Graphics::PLplot is installed, then you should be able to run the PLplot perl examples, with a command of the form perl x01.pl. If you get an error message along the lines of Could not find module PDL::Graphics::PLplot then they probably didn't come together. I'm unfamiliar with ActiveState directory structure, but on OS-X PDL::Graphics::PLplot can be found in /path/to/perl/libraries/PDL/ Graphics/PLplot. I suspect that the current ActiveState version of PDL is so old that it doesn't contain PLplot. If it does, then the problem is likely that it couldn't find the plplot library. You can figure out where its looking for the library by reading Makefile.PL in the PDL/Graphics/PLplot library, however I'm not sure how you recompile once you've given it the right path and library name. Cygwin might be the path of least resistance here. -Hazen - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
