I've been using PDL for years on OS X with no problems (thank you, thank you, thank you for the countless hours saved). Now I have a new laptop with Snow Leopard and I can't get it to install.
Before trying to install PDL, I got PGPLOT working following instructions posted at http://iparrizar.mnstate.edu/~juan/urania/2009/10/23/pgplot-on-snow-leopard/ . But I run into trouble trying to install PDL either using CPAN or from source. Previous postings to this list seem not to apply to my problem, but I'm not very tech-savvy, so I may not have understood the implications. I'll paste in the problems I'm having with each installation attempt, and I'd be most grateful for any advice. First, when I try installing PDL using 'sudo cpan' and then 'install PDL', I get the following when it comes to CHM: Running make for C/CH/CHM/PDL-2.4.6.tar.gz Has already been unwrapped into directory /Users/jmagnuson/.cpan/build/PDL-2.4.6-H9gAgm CPAN.pm: Going to build C/CH/CHM/PDL-2.4.6.tar.gz /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" pdldoc.PL pdldoc Extracting pdldoc (WITH bad value support) cp Reduce.pm ../blib/lib/PDL/Reduce.pm cp PDL.pm ../blib/lib/PDL.pm cp Lite.pm ../blib/lib/PDL/Lite.pm cp Options.pm ../blib/lib/PDL/Options.pm cp LiteF.pm ../blib/lib/PDL/LiteF.pm cp default.perldlrc ../blib/lib/PDL/default.perldlrc cp AutoLoader.pm ../blib/lib/PDL/AutoLoader.pm cp Lvalue.pm ../blib/lib/PDL/Lvalue.pm cp Matrix.pm ../blib/lib/PDL/Matrix.pm PERL5OPT='' podselect ../Gen/Inline/Pdlpp.pm > PP-Inline.pod /bin/sh: /usr/bin/podselect: Permission denied make[2]: *** [PP-Inline.pod] Error 126 make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 2 make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 CHM/PDL-2.4.6.tar.gz /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Failed during this command: CHM/PDL-2.4.6.tar.gz : make NO cpan[2]> install PDL Running install for module 'PDL' Running make for C/CH/CHM/PDL-2.4.6.tar.gz Has already been unwrapped into directory /Users/jmagnuson/.cpan/build/PDL-2.4.6-H9gAgm Could not make: Unknown error Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Second, if I try installing from source, it warns me that f77 has not been found when I run 'perl Makefile.PL'. Otherwise, all is fine til I run 'make', where there are surprising permission errors. Even if I run 'sudo make', I get the following error: /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" pdldoc.PL pdldoc Extracting pdldoc (WITH bad value support) Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::Impatient.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::BadValues.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::Internals.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::Tips.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::PP-Inline.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::Dataflow.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::Delta.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::Philosophy.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::FAQ.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::Objects.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::Indexing.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/pdl.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::PP.1 Manifying ../../blib/man1/PDL::API.1 /usr/bin/perl "-I../../blib/arch" "-I../../blib/lib" pptemplate.PL pptemplate Extracting pptemplate (with variable substitutions) PERL5OPT='' podselect pptemplate > pptemplate.pod /bin/sh: /usr/bin/podselect: Permission denied make[2]: *** [pptemplate.pod] Error 126 make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 2 make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 Thanks, jim
