Ingo - Do I understand correctly that you *updated* the PDL ebuild? If so, you have my thanks, as well as the thanks from the rest of the porters! We should add instructions to our wiki for installing PDL on Gentoo. Anything that makes PDL easier to install on any platform should be mentioned.
Now, as to your bug, my test passes and looks like the tushort_a16.png image that you attached in your follow-up. I have not worked with (or on) PDL::IO::Pic and I do not have experience with the C library that backs it up, so I cannot be of much help, at least, not with the details that you have posted so far. However, this looks like a bona-fide bug, so we should probably file a bug report. If you have a sourceforge account, I would appreciate if you could file a bug here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=browse&group_id=612&atid=100612&status=1. If you do not have a sourceforge account, please reply with the output of "perldl -V" so that I can include it in the bug report. Last point: from the build log, it looks like you have a 64 bit AMD chip. I wonder if this is an issue with 64 bit builds, especially the 64 bit representation of PDL's short type. But that's just a hunch. David -- Sent via my carrier pigeon.
