The PDL build process is not parallel make safe, at least not without some tweaking. I've never gotten make -j N to build. > If you really need 3D graphics, see the note from Chris Marshall to this > list on 9/17/2009.

The new TriD graphics uses the Perl OpenGL module to access OpenGL, GLU, GLUT, and GLX functions needed for the 3D graphics. Thanks to testing and feedback from folk, it is rapidly stablizing and I hope to have a "rough cut, take 2" soon. I'm always looking for testers and debugging diagnostics on various platforms. I post updates on the perldl mailing list if you are interested in helping out... or following the progress. Cheers, Chris > cheers, > Derek > > Brock Murch wrote: >> Thanks in advance for your help.
