Hi, I've never used PDL (Perl Data Language, designed to bring fast & compact data manipulation [particularly matrix operations] to Perl), mainly because it's such a bear to install. But I keep wanting to try. I just tried downloading and installing the latest PDL, and learned that I need to have a Fortran compiler like f77 or g77 installed. Urgh, does anyone know how to install such a beast, or even if such a thing is possible? The GNU docs & site are as helpful as they ever are, so I haven't been able to figure much out. I'll take this over to the PDL lists if nobody here can help, but I didn't want to cross-post right off the bat. ------------------- ------------------- Ken Williams Last Bastion of Euclidity [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Math Forum
