Apparently I don't, even though I think I've edited that page in the past (and I was logged on). I get told: You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: editor, admin. You can view and copy the source of this page: I think we can change all references to "PDL-2.4.3" to simply "PDL". And we need to add another 'ppm install' command to ensure that the ppm package for OpenGL that gets installed is from the uwinnipeg repo (not ActiveState). The uwinnipeg PDL package assumes a statically linked OpenGL build (as provided by the uwinnipeg ppm package), whereas the ActiveState OpenGL package is dynamically linked. So, on that wiki, the source should read: ################################ For perl 5.8: <pre> ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/PGPLOT.ppd ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/OpenGL.ppd ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/PDL.ppd </pre> Or for perl 5.10: <pre> ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/PGPLOT.ppd ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/OpenGL.ppd ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/PDL.ppd </pre> ################################ Hadar, does running the test script at http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/CHM/PDL-2.4.6/t/opengl.t work ok for you ? There currently is no 5.12 uwinnipeg repo, and I'm not sure that the owner (Randy Kobes) has plans to create one .... I must find out about that. If he's not going to provide a 5.12 repo, we might be able to get one of the other well known repos (eg Bribes or Trouchelle) to host the PDL binaries.
