Hi Fabio, when I install pdl or gsl, I use the Ubuntu package manager for the initial install and then cpan for upgrading. Have you tried that route yet? Thanks, Cliff.

Hi, I was making a 12.10 "feasibilty evaluation in existence of a working machine" based on 11.04 (here the perspective is Perl and related PDL, and more) So I am trying to solve some specific problems as I see them in the perspective of accept or not accept the whole as solution. If the result will not seem satisficing "VM -> Recycle Bin". About the software management, I also find it very good, but it cannot become forcing to have available only what it provides. I still expect to get all I need to build perl modules within the perl environment, and the package manager works fine (apt-get, yum, or any other ) if and only if it is a way to supply, in a generally accepted way (putting where other tools can find them), what is needed to others to proceed. If I need an header, as that used to get mod_perl with -lperl (apt-get install libperl-dev), it is good to have the package manager providing a package for that. That is ALL is must do. About the technical part of the issues I will describe that in another mail, as it could be useful to all of us. Meanwhile this is the description of the GO/NO GO part of the story.
