Can I go back and look at that? In other words, are the results of the tests stored in some file? I am looking through perldl.conf, and unlike other modules with dependencies, there is no setting for building or not building PDL::IO::Pic. And, while I can't say for sure, I certainly don't recall any errors saying PDL::IO::Pic won't be built because I didn't have NetPBM. What I recall is that PDL::IO::Pic built just fine, without any intervention from me. But, when I tried to run any command inside PDL::IO::Pic, I got the error saying that <ppmtogif> wasn't available (I forget the exact name of the missing program, but the error basically said that the NetPBM programs weren't available). So, then I tried installing NetPBM stable version, and failed because of the error with libpng14. Then I downloaded the latest build (so called "advanced" build of NetPBM), and after installing that, everything worked. > > --Chris > > _______________________________________________ > Perldl mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl > -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
