Ok, let's back up a little bit. Something's missing here, since I don't
get that error on my Ubuntu (though I already have PDL installed). We
need to make a log of your cpan session, since the PDL build generates a
lot of output. So go into the cpan shell and 'clean PDL'. Then exit
out, and go back in like this:
perl -MCPAN -e shell | tee cpan.log
(or you may be able to save a lot of typing by doing "cpan |tee cpan.log")
then
make PDL
and watch it go. Once it stops, exit, and open up that cpan.log file.
It should look something like the attached file. Between the lines
CPAN.pm: Going to build C/CS/CSOE/PDL-2.4.3.tar.gz
and
Writing Makefile for PDL
check your log for any major differences with mine. If you are missing
some programs that it needs to compile, it should make a mention of it
at this point, and it might give you a clue as to what's going on here.

Hi again Derek,
I've added some details in this email for the people subscribed to the list

So Im trying to install PDL through CPAN.
I enter the commands :
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Bundle::CPAN
install ExtUtils::F77
install PDL
After "install PDL" I get this the message. This is not the first time I try to
install PDL. The first time I got the same error message.:

Hi Derek,
Thanks for that. I have managed to re-install ExtUtils::F77. I'm

Sai,
It is best if you CC the perldl list on your replies, others may see
things that I miss, or may reply even faster.
This line:
Can't exec "g77": No such file or directory at
/root/.cpan/build/ExtUtils-F77-1.16/blib/lib/ExtUtils/F77.pm line 176.
Is because you probably don't have a Fortran compiler on your
system--the whole point of ExtUtils::F77 is to link C programs with
Fortran subroutines... while Perl (and the core of PDL) is written in
C, some useful PDL modules are based on Fortran libraries. Install
g77 through Synaptic. Don't force the ExtUtils::F77 install. You
may have to 'clean ExtUtils::F77' in cpan before running 'install
ExtUtils::F77' again.

Subject: Re: [Perldl] installing pdl on ubuntu
Sai,
If you really don't care about configuring PDL exactly as you need
it, and just want some basic PDL functionality FAST, probably the
easiest thing to do is to install the pdl ubuntu package.
System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager. Then search for
'pdl' and mark it for installation. Right click on the entry in
the list and see if any of the "recommended" or "suggested"
packages are appropriate (MESA is for 3D graphics; I would
definitely install one of the "readline" packages if you are
planning on using the interactive perldl shell; plplot is for 2D
graphics), and mark them for installation if you want. Click
"Apply", and watch it go!
If you really want to install it through CPAN, then I would recommend:
install Bundle::CPAN
reload CPAN
as a first step. This will install all sorts of useful things that
don't come on the standard Ubuntu Perl install.
install ExtUtils::F77
will install a F77 binding for perl, which PDL seems to want.
Start there, and let us know which route you go and how it works (I
may be able to help more on Sunday if necessary).
cheers,
Derek
