David,
yes, I updated the existing 2.4.7 ebuild. For installing on gentoo, you
have to create the dev-perl/PDL directory in your portage overlay, copy
the originial dev-perl/PDL/files directory and the new ebuild there and
run emerge PDL after installing all your required packages (like pgplot
if you want PGPLOT support). So in fact it's fairly painless.
As to sf account, I don't think so, will have a look ...

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
<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.
