Probably first need to add http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/ repo to the list of ppm repos, and then maybe do a search of available packages, and then select the one you want. (Providing all options regarding the way in which the ppm install could be performed could quickly turn into a tutorial on ppm's options and capabilities - and I don't really want to get involved with doing that, either :-) > Tri-d works, pgplot works, pdl2 works, history works, after deleting my > history file writing to the history file works as well. Excellent !! > Weird regarding the ReadLine VERSION error though as I have it installed. Actually, I've struck the same behaviour with some versions of it, too - yet they seem to work ok. Looks like just some quirk with how one invokes it. If everything is working ok, I wouldn't worry about it. Thanks muchly for the feedback.
