However, going through the demos is not so good. 3d and 3d2 both fail - I'll 
get the error codes tomorrow, pgplot works, gnuplot fails saying that 'gnuplot' 
isn't installed, but it is.

Subject: RE: [Perldl] PDL on Ubuntu 12.10?

The physical machine - running Ubuntu 12.10 performing 'cpan upgrade PDL' 
Completed successfully and the pdl2 shell indicated 2.006. Both are running 
perl 5.14.2. I would have to scrub the libraries to see what is missing on the 
VM. Alternatively I could try to create a 12.10 Ubuntu VM and perform the same. 

Thanks, Cliff.

I created a new VM and loaded Lubuntu (lxde interface instead of gnome for 
lower memory footprint). 

I performed 
        sudo apt-get install pdl pgplot5 libpgplot-perl gnuplot this install 
the 2.4.11 version of PDL I then tried 
        cpan upgrade PDL
This failed trying to make OpenGLQ.pm as it couldn't find some gl headers.
I then installed the development files for freeglut using synaptic.
I then retried 
        cpan upgrade PDL
This time it completed - but with failures and indicated it wouldn't install 
without 'force'

Tried using 'force upgrade PDL' to no avail. I also checked one of my physical 
12.10 servers, apparently I haven't upgraded at least one of them so it is in 
the process of upgrading.

Thanks, Cliff.

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.

Thanks
