Subject: [Perldl] PDL::LinearAlgebra on Win7


Does anyone have experience with installation of PDL::LinearAlgebra::Real on
Win7?
I specifically need Cholesky factorization R = chol(A) such that
transp(R)*R=A.

It appears that PDL::LinearAlgebra requires Lapack first, and Lapack in turn
requires Intel Fortran Compiler (not free :( and Microsoft Visual studio.

Can one install Lapack with an alternative free Fortran compiler?


If it helps, there are ppm packages for PDL::LinearAlgebra at the sisyphusion repo:

ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/PDL-LinearAlgebra.ppd --force

But they're only for *64-bit* builds of perl. If you have a 32-bit perl then you're out of luck, at present.

I have built 32-bit ppm packages of PDL::LinearAlgebra, but they crash at runtime, and I haven't yet had time to fix this.

Would you prefer that I provide info on how I built them ? (I know I used the MinGW port of gcc, but I'd have to check on the various hoops that I jumped through to get the builds to succeed.)

Cheers,
Rob
