Kare,
An alternative to PGPLOT is the Plplot interface. It is similar to
PGPLOT, but I think it "only" needs the PDL distribution and the plplot
library installed (ie you do not need an extra module as you do with
PGPLOT). Of course, there are less examples of using the plplot
interface than the pgplot one (e.g. there are no demos), which could be
an issue.
Hope this helps,
Doug

Good, did you install both the pgplot-5.2 library *and* the PGPLOT.pm
perl module?
Then 'make' creates a makefile for PGPLOT without complaining about a
missing library - good!
'make test' just skips the PGPLOT test without any additional message
-
strange...
The PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT module will be built whether or not you
have the pgplot graphics library and the PGPLOT perl Module installed.
The skipped test suggests you are missing one of the *two* prereqs.
Well, I try the 'demo pgplot' anyway. Looooooooooooots of errors about
'Cant locate PGPLOT.pm in @INC (@INC contains...)
Why on earth does PDL want to look elsewhere for one
of its own modules from where PDL installs the module
itself??????????????????????????????????
The PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT module is probably ok. It is the PGPLOT
module (try search.cpan.org) that appears not to be installed.
Note, the PGPLOT module requires the pgplot graphics library be
installed.
The file DEPENDENCIES in the distribution lists what is required.
Regards,
Chris
