Updated - I removed my compiled freeglut.dll from the system32 directory
and then reinstalled OpenGL - works fine. If you need to use your own
compiled freeglut.dll & .lib, then one needs to download OpenGL using
cpan, replace the .dll and .lib with your versions, then complete the make
and make install from cpan. Either way works.
Interesting - I had problems when I tried to use OpenGL (built against the
freeglut.dll that ships with the OpenGL source) with my ppm builds of PDL. I
attributed those problems to the fact that my ppm builds of PDL had been
built against an OpenGL that, itself, had been built against a *static*
freeglut library. Perhaps the problem I experienced (the details of which I
forget) was simply a freeglut library version mismatch - and nothing to do
with mixing static and dynamic libs.
No matter - if an OpenGL that has been built against a dynamic freeglut
library works with the ppm builds of PDL, that's great. (Less headaches for
me :-)
2) I have been using the latest version (well I actually updated to the
latest with the install on this new computer) of GrWnd for the last
several releases and it works fine on my machine. I believe that I
downloaded the Prebuilt binary for MinGW (I have it installed). Yes, the
error you described about the second window opening causing the error is
the fault that I am experiencing. I have tried to download the toolkit >
10 times now and it simply times out before completing, so I have not
tried to build my own version of the GrWnd.dll. This doesn't impede my use
that much since I only have one window open.
The multiple windows problem is a bug in the pgplot library - at least in
that build of the library that ppm installs.
Plplot and it's wingcc graphics window provides an alternative to
pgplot/grwnd - but there's no demos of wingcc interacting with the pdl shell
(afaik).
3) pdl2 kind of works on my machine. I had to force install Devel::REPL
from cpan as the version in the ppm browser was too old and I thought that
I saw that it was 1.03.0111 but after the install from ppm it seemed to go
back to an earlier version. So I thought that it was installed, but it
apparently failed quietly. I went in to cpan and tried to install, but it
would fail on Sys::SigAction but said it may work if forced. Once I
completed the force install, pdl2 would launch.
So, in the end you have version 1.003011 ?
Probably best to check:
perl -MDevel::REPL -e "print $Devel::REPL::VERSION"
and also, just so there's no doubt:
perl -MTerm::ReadLine::Perl -e "print $Term::ReadLine::VERSION"
I have 1.003011 and 1.05 respectively. (Is that up to speed with what's
recommended ?)
Once able to launch pdl2 I
get the following errors:
C:\Users\eclisob>pdl2
Unable to find PDL/pdldoc.db in C:/Perl/site/lib:C:/Perl/lib:.
Now that's odd.
The post-install script should install pdldoc.db (and does for me). You can
see it mentioned at the start of the installation process - in install.txt
(attached).
And it's definitely there for me.
I can't think of any way of working out what's gone wrong for you other than
to:
1) Firstly, 'ppm remove PDL'
2) Then manually delete the perl/site/lib/PDL folder, if it's still there.
It's still there for me, with Index.pod and pdldoc.db the only files
remaining in it. (These 2 files were not, after all, installed by the 'ppm
install' process itself, so it makes good sense that 'ppm remove' leaves
them alone.)
3) Then re-run:
ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/PDL.ppd
Then see if pdldoc.db gets installed. If it doesn't, peruse the step 3)
output for any hints as to why that part of the post-install process failed.
(I've already gone through the above steps on my 5.12.1 build of ActivePerl,
just to make sure that it *is* installing .... not just there as a result of
something I've done previously.)
Otherwise Clifford, I could just send you Index.pod and pdldoc.db - I think
they'll relocate just fine.
And upon exit:
pdl> Use of uninitialized value $lines in substitution (s///) at
C:/Perl/site/li
b/PDL/Perldl2/Plugin/PDLCommands.pm line 29.
Freeing FFT space
warning: unable to WriteHistory to C:/Users/eclisob/.perldl_hist
Don't know what's going on there,. nor what effects it might have. Chris ?
I was not able to use command history either - probably due to the error I
am guessing. I don't know why the error exists, I even opened up the
security on Vista to allow everyone to read/write/execute/modify the file
to no avail. I am using the Term::ReadLine::Perl module for the readline
capability. The cpan shell does have command history.
By the way, previously when Devel::REPL was not installed (properly) it
did not drop down to perldl properly. It was in some weird state where the
prompt said pdl> but the commands were DOS commands - I tried help and it
listed the DOS commands...
If you can think of any reason why the history is not working I would
appreciate any help.
History works for me - but not with the up and down arrow keys (unless the
TERM environment variable is set to dumb ... and then you probably lose some
other functionality).
I think Chris wanted emacs behaviour with the new shell - so try Ctrl-P
(instead of up arrow) and Ctrl-N (instead of down arrow). That works for me
ok.
Cheers,
Rob

This build of PDL can utilise the PGPLOT graphic capabilities
if PGPLOT is installed. A PGPLOT ppm is also available from
this repository.
In order to utilise the built in proj4 capability set your
PROJ_LIB environment variable to C:\_32\ap1201\site\lib\PDL\proj_supp
In order to utilise the built in plplot capability set your
PLPLOT_LIB environment variable to C:\_32\ap1201\site\lib\PDL\plplot_supp
