Dan,

If Rob's suggestion doesn't work, I have found the best way to install PDL
on Ubuntu is to install the PDL package from the repos, and then build the
latest PDL on top of that. Such an approach is sometimes shunned, but it
almost always gets me a working install so I can move forward doing work
rather than fiddling with the install.

Having said that, did you follow the installation instructions on the PDL
website? There are Ubuntu-specific directions there that were written about
a year ago. Do they need to be updated?
