Re: [Perldl] surfaces with PDL

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 11:12:18 -0700 

Hi a third time, Puneet:

I just noticed a confusing typo in my recent post:
Compile PLplot in the normal way, and *note* which directories the libraries and include files are installed to. 

Please switch 'note' for 'not'!

Hi Puneet:  plplot is indeed a prerequisite for PDL::Graphics::PLplot.
I've not tested this on Darwin, but I imagine it should work. Compile PLplot in the normal way, and not which directories the libraries and include files are installed to.
Then before running the 'perl Makefile.PL' for PDL, edit the perldl.conf file in the top level PDL directory. There should be variables you can set for the location of PLplot libraries and include files. 

Regards,

 Doug

 sorry to be replying here to my own rantings... I went ahead and
 followed the instructions listed below to install plplot, but received
 the following error

 I thought plplot was the prerequisite for PDL::Graphics::PLplot, but
 it seems to be the other way around. Now I am really confused and
 stuck.

 Suggestions welcome.
