Hi, The problem is that you are running on a 64-bit system, but the pgplot fortran & c library (not the Perl module) was not compiled in the correct way, which makes linking with that library from the Perl PGPLOT module problematic. The pgplot library needs to be recompiled with the -fPIC option (both for libpgplot and the libcpgplot). This might require editing the Makefile. Then try installing the perl PGPLOT module again.
Did you install the pgplot library from a package manager, or did you compile it yourself? If from a package manager, what version of CentOS are you running? We have not seen an error like this on the mailing list in awhile, so I thought most of those distributions had figured it out! The last time I remember seeing something like this was in 2008, you can read about it in several threads called "installing pgplot in ubuntu" here: http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/pipermail/perldl/2008-June/thread.html There are several issues with PGPLOT on 64-bit systems: 1) the -fPIC issue; 2) the fact that some pgplot drivers (/(V)GIF, /(V)PPM, and /(V)WD) need the source code edited for 64-bit systems before you compile pgplot; 3) that sometimes the linker doesn't know where to find libpgplot (if it is in say /usr/local/pgplot), and so you have to add that location to your "/etc/ld.so.conf" and then run "ldconfig". Do you have a reason to need PGPLOT? We are trying to move people towards some nicer, more modern graphics systems that interface nicely with PDL, and I would go that route if you don't have any specific reason for needing PGPLOT. best, Derek On Mar 27, 2013, at 11:01 PM, 一点 wrote: > I'm trying to install PGPLOT using cpan> install PGPLOT, but it is not > working. > the transcript of the session is posted blow. > I'm using perl 5.8.8 on Centos. > > cpan[1]> install PGPLOT > Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata' > Database was generated on Sun, 24 Mar 2013 17:29:02 GMT > Fetching with LWP: > ftp://ftp.cuhk.edu.hk/pub/packages/perl/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz > Reading '/root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz' > ............................................................................DONE > Fetching with LWP: > ftp://ftp.cuhk.edu.hk/pub/packages/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz > Reading '/root/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz' > Database was generated on Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:29:02 GMT > ............................................................................DONE > Fetching with LWP: > ftp://ftp.cuhk.edu.hk/pub/packages/perl/CPAN/modules/03modlist.data.gz > Reading '/root/.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz' > ............................................................................DONE > Writing /root/.cpan/Metadata > Running install for module 'PGPLOT' > Running make for K/KG/KGB/PGPLOT-2.21.tar.gz > Checksum for /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/K/KG/KGB/PGPLOT-2.21.tar.gz ok > Scanning cache /root/.cpan/build for sizes > ...................................................................---------DONE > DEL(1/3): /root/.cpan/build/Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.060 > DEL(2/3): /root/.cpan/build/Locale-Maketext-Simple-0.21 > DEL(3/3): /root/.cpan/build/Module-Load-0.24 > /bin/tar: Read 1536 bytes from -
