Hiya,

My name is Sai and I'm trying to install pdl on my ubuntu 7.10 (brand new 
installation). I will describe the commands I typed and the results I got 
below. I would really really appreciate it if someone could help me with this 
cause I need this to get on with my project!

Here I go. I'm logged in as root by the way.

I type: 

perl -MCPAN -e shell

install PDL

Then I get a long log and a question at the end:

...

Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue
of modules we are processing right now? [yes] 

I answered with an "enter" and then a long log and another answer:

I really don't know where the "Core...  ...'unary *'" lines begin cause the log 
is cut at one point.

Basically I really don't know what's going on and it's been a frustrating day 
trying to get this to work.

Any ideas? Please help...

Sai
