Hi,
I rely on cpan to get perl modules. This works fine on 11.04.
The system gives me all  the libs and headers and I use them to get modules built. This is the 'acceptable' boundary, which results in having an updated Perl baseline, based on a "set it and forget it" system landscape.

Just as an example I cannot build both Math::GSL .27 and PDL 2.006 on 12.10 while they are gracefully working on 11.04.

Obviously I could hold a 12.10 for a cool desktop use of  linux, but it seems to me not viable to be a development replacement, if the upper described scheme is not applicable.

Thanks

Hi Fabio. What specifically are you having issues with on ubuntu 12.10. I am running it fine, both in a VM as well as on two physical machines. If you use the package manager, everything should install fine. Either software centre or synaptic should work. Let me know where you see having difficulties and I'll try to replicate. Thanks, Cliff.

Hi,
it seems to me that recently the system update is growing to be too much
invasive.
Forgetting for a moment that ubuntu as other linux dists are free, if
the updates/repos become the preferred way to manage the systems also
showing files as perl-modules or new base perl versions (within the
major 5.14) as updates, as I see in this 12.10, SO  they should be
updated at the 'right' speed.
As this is obvioulsy IMpossible with perl / cpan the conclusion is that
this cannot work.   The current 11.04 supplied about all the system
packages needed to interface with Perl, and starting that I used cpan to
build and update the baseline.

Just as I have a software still using SQL2000 (...), there is a
reasonable outlook to something similar with my Ubuntu 11.04, that is
the latest edible in the landscape.

Thanks

I just use the Ubuntu PDL package.
It's an old version of PDL, but stable, and it works fine.

Hi,
I have a working 11.04 VM, fully configured (it is old only what doesn't
give expected results) , but was looking at 12.10 to evaluate a future
move.
I made a perl Makefile.PL to check what was needed to get all the Yes in
building as I made with the current setup

I am finding problems with TriD and GD among others as I cannot find
packages to support also other config parts (more than the -dev part of
the story)
I am getting also issue with the direct Math::GSL setup (beyond the
harmless test on characters).

Is there some report about PDL on this version of Ubuntu, showing many
updated interpretation on some packages/functionality, that seem not
matching as before?

Thanks
