If your fftw libraries and include files are not in the locations searched in the FFT_LIBS and FFT_INC you will need to edit those appropriately. > > > t/hdf_sd....................skipped > > > all skipped: PDL::IO::HDF requires the HDF module. > > > t/hdf_vdata.................skipped > > > all skipped: PDL::IO::HDF requires the HDF module. > > > t/hdf_vgroup................skipped > > > all skipped: PDL::IO::HDF requ > > > >You'll need the libhdf4g stuff (not version 5) and you > >may need the -dev and/or -run stuff too.

Do you have ExtUtils::F77 installed (available from a cpan site near you)? Does it work if you force WITH_SLATEC => 1 in the perldl.conf? > > > t/ndf.......................skipped > > > all skipped: PDL::IO::NDF requires the NDF module. > > > t/pgplot....................skipped > > > all skipped: Skipped: PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT not installed > > > > Install pgplot5 package from > > http://packages.debian.org/stable/math/pgplot5 > > pgplot5 was installed. Could this be another > "non-standard install location" issue? Nope, you actually need the PGPERL module which requires pgplot. At http://packages.debian.org/stable/math/pgperl > /usr/lib/libpgplot.a > /usr/lib/libpgplot.so > /usr/lib/libpgplot.so.5 > /usr/lib/libpgplot.so.5.2.2 You might consider writing up an "Easy PDL for Debian" readme file. I'd like to see PDL more usable for first time users and simple, clear docs help. Also, I've cc'd this response the the pdl-porters mailing list where most development discussions take place. If you have interest in the development of PDL (for information or contribution), I would suggest registering for that list. Regards, Chris
