Hello All Here is a quick hack I worked out to get SciKarl working on Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard installs a new perl (5.10) which is binary incompatible but the old perl is thankfully still there. So is PDL. (If you previously had Leopard/SciKarl and just did an upgrade.)
You can test this by trying: % /usr/bin/perl5.8.9 /usr/local/bin/perldl % /usr/bin/perl5.8.9 myscript.pl and things should just work as before. (If they don't then you probably lost PDL somewhere). If you want to permanently switch your perls - 1) Make a symbolic link from /usr/local/bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl5.8.9 2) Edit your .cshrc or .bashrc to put /usr/local/bin/perl ahead of / usr/bin in your PATH variable if it is not already 3) edit /usr/local/bin/perldl and edit the first line so it is using / usr/local/bin/perl then everything should work fine from the command line. Which is what I did. I think this is harmless as it only changes the default command line perl. I promise to try and recompile and re-release SciKarl by the end of the year!
