I don't know for sure, but it strikes me as likely that if you you're using 
a lapack that was built with gfortran, then you'll need to have built PDL 
using gfortran (instead of g77) as the fortran compiler - and I think you'll 
strike some difficulties building PDL using gfortran.

Instread, I would probably first try a lapack library that was built using 
g77 - I think I saw mention of a g77 source distro somewhere. With any luck 
you could then build PDL::LinearAlgebra without having to re-build PDL.

The best advice would probably come from someone who has actually got 
PDL::LinearAlgebra installed - eg the PDL::LinearAlgebra author, if he can 
be contacted. (See if you can find out whether he used gfortran in either 
his build of PDL or his build of the lapack library. I'm *guessing* he used 
g77 for both.)

Cheers,
Rob
