which Ubuntu release are you using? and what is the revision of the PDL package? I did an upload to debian unstable in October 2009 (package revision 2.4.5-1), which should have working TriD support. If the version you have is older: try a backport of the debian unstable package (I did so for debian lenny, package worked without modifications, and after backporting the libopengl-perl package). maybe somebody already did a pdl backport for your ubuntu release... if not, in case of pdl it is not too hard to do by yourself: general do-it-yourself approach: 0) modify /etc/apt/sources.list to include a deb-src line referencing debian unstable 1) apt-get update 2) apt-get install build-essential devscripts 3) apt-get build-dep libopengl-perl 4) apt-get source libopengl-perl 5) change into libopengl-perl directory, run 'debuild' 6) install newly created libopengl-perl packags using 'dpkg -i' 7) repeat steps 3-6 for pdl In case you need further help with backporting, ask me ;) -- c u henning _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
