Hi Chris, Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Yes, PDL works correctly now including 3D. I needed the information in both of your emails to get it working, and it works now. Here is a summary of my experience: > Are you following the directions here? > > > http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pdl/index.php?title=Installing_PDL_Manually > > PDL TriD requires FreeGLUT and not GLUT libraries Yes, I had FreeGLUT, but no, I was not reading that document. I admit that I underestimated the difficulty of the task. I learnt my lesson and began reading the document carefully... I got as far as the 'install PDL' line, but CPAN insisted that PDL was up to date: cpan[4]> install PDL PDL is up to date (2.4.6). But CPAN was wrong, since I removed everything related to PDL to do a clean install. So I tried 'make PDL' and that worked. It downloaded PDL and compiled it. I tested PDL as you said in your second email ('look PDL' and 'perl -Mblib perldl'). It worked correctly, including 3D stuff! So I ran 'make install' and it installed correctly. I tested PDL on a new shell and everything works, including 3D. I have no idea why it was giving a GD error earlier. Thank you very much for your help. And thanks for putting up with my frustrated rant earlier. Cheers, Daniel. _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
