there is a simpler way to get all the build dependencies of a package: put a deb-src line into your /etc/apt/sources.list, type 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get build-dep pdl'. this installs all the packages (mostly -dev packages shipping headers and .so symlinks) for building pdl. I build the fortran-based modules (slatec, minuit) of pdl using gfortran, not the nowadays obsolete g77. a configuration file for this is included in the debian/ subdirectory of pdl. to the topic of a separate -dev package: in the case of PDL, it does not make so much sense to split off the developent headers, as you need them for PDL::PP. I think that quite a lot of people are using it, so making PDL::PP unusable in the standard pdl .deb is not such a good idea... p.s.: the ubuntu packages are based on the debian ones, but the ubuntu maintainer switched on badval-as-NaN in the config. -- c u henning _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
