Hi Daniel, (I see you seem to have gotten things working today, but thought this might be helpful anyway.)
This winter when I had a fresh Ubuntu Karmic installed, I wrote down the steps needed to do a completely clean PDL install. The thought was to get as many external PDL dependencies as precompiled binaries, and then build PDL from the latest git snapshot for my development work. You might find it helpful. Certainly if you don't want to build the latest Git snapshot, the rest will work. http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pdl/index.php?title=User:Lambd > <snip> and even the website > doesn't look like it's changed much. correct. Under the hood, it was completely revamped a few years ago, but was not redesigned it in the process. I think most folks who contribute to PDL spend their time writing code, documentation and debugging, leaving little time for web design. > I would think that after 10 years > it would be possible to make PDL *install* reliably.

As you've noticed by now, the community is very responsive to installation issues, even if it seems you're missing something obvious. We're pretty used to newbie questions here, and they're welcome--it gives us feedback, and means more people are trying PDL! best, Derek > > Daniel. > > _______________________________________________ > Perldl mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
