In the cpan shell, if you want to build
PDL a step at a time, assuming you've
already installed all desired DEPENDENCIES
(maybe by installing the SciKarl package),
then you would do
bash$ cpan
cpan> get CHM/PDL-2.4.6_014.tar.gz # get the latest dev release
cpan> make CHM/PDL-2.4.6_014.tar.gz # configure and build PDL
cpan> test CHM/PDL-2.4.6_014.tar.gz # run the test suite
cpan> install CHM/PDL-2.4.6_014.tar.gz # install if things worked
if you want to poke around by hand do
cpan> look CHM/PDL-2.4.6_014.tar.gz
which will start up a shell in the build
directory that cpan was using. To set the
cpan build directory, just use this
command at the cpan shell prompt:
cpan> o conf init cpan_home
The following questions are intended to help you with the
configuration. The CPAN module needs a directory of its own to cache
important index files and maybe keep a temporary mirror of CPAN files.
This may be a site-wide or a personal directory.
I see you already have a directory
/home/bad directory name/.cpan
Shall we use it as the general CPAN build and cache directory?
<cpan_home>
CPAN build and cache directory? [/home/bad directory name/.cpan]
/home/good_directory_name/.cpan
Please remember to call 'o conf commit' to make the config permanent!
cpan> o conf commit
Hope this helps.
