Rob, now we have a new website would you do us a big favour and update the 'PDL for Windows' info on the web pages? This perhaps could be a link to a 'howto' on the wiki?

Thanks

Karl



Did you install using PPM ?

If so, you probably installed the PPM package available from the ActiveState repository. Unfortunately that build of PDL does no incorporate Slatec. There's a PPM package of PDL available from Randy Kobes' uwinnipeg repository that *does* incoroporate Slatec, so I would suggest installing it, instead:

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/PDL.ppd

(You might first need to run 'ppm remove PDL'.)

Alternatively, if you install MinGW and dmake, you'll be able to build PDL from source (with ActiveState perl) -though there's probably not much to be gained by building from source, as opposed to using the uwinnipeg PPM package (except for the fun and the experience, of course :-)

Even if you do use the uwinnipeg PPM, there are still gains to be had from installing MinGW and dmake - in that various additional PDL capabilities will become available if MinGW and dmake are locatable (ie in your "path").

Cheers,
Rob
