Hi Folks/Fabio, I think I tracked down all of the dependencies for installing the 3d stuff and Gnuplot in PDL from cpan for Ubuntu 12.04/12.10. The following must be install via 'sudo apt-get install' 1) build-essentials (I usually have this done but others might not install them) 2) freeglut3-dev (I was missing this) 3) libXi-dev (I was missing this as well, however, as per the complete manual install instructions on the PDL webpage: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pdl/index.php?title=Installing_PDL_Manually , which is actually a little out of the way to find because the statement containing the information starts out with 'Note 1: On Windows'. We should probably separate it in to a separate note.) 4) Then in cpan 'install OpenGL' (I tried to jump straight to install PDL::Graphics::TriD and it still failed - guessing that the dependencies are checked only at the install PDL level). 5) Then in cpan 'install PDL::Graphics::TriD'
Now the 3d and 3d2 demos work on the physical machine that I previously hadn't tried them on. No idea why I had problems with PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot. I uninstalled gnuplot and re-installed on Ubuntu 12.04 and it worked. In Ubuntu 12.10 you have to use one more step 6) 'sudo apt-get install gnuplot-x11' Thanks, Cliff. -----Original Message----- From: Clifford Sobchuk Sent: April 22, 2013 7:06 AM To: '[email protected]' Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Perldl] PDL on Ubuntu 12.10? Thanks Rob, That explains why only one showed up in the actual test report. Thanks, Cliff. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: April 22, 2013 5:04 AM To: Clifford Sobchuk Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Perldl] PDL on Ubuntu 12.10? Hi Clifford, Note that you are getting only *one* failing test. I gather from what you wrote that you're thinking there was more than the one failure - but t/inline-comment-test.t and t/pdl_from_string.t did not fail any tests. They're mentioned in the summary only because they're already passing some TODO tests. Cheers, Rob -----Original Message----- From: Clifford Sobchuk This time it completed - but with failures and indicated it wouldn't install without 'force' Test Summary Report ------------------- t/inline-comment-test.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 3 Failed: 0) TODO passed: 3 t/pdl_from_string.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 113 Failed: 0) TODO passed: 37-40 t/slatec.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 40 Failed: 1) Failed test: 8 Non-zero exit status: 1 Files=124, Tests=1420, 39 wallclock secs ( 0.38 usr 0.46 sys + 31.36 cusr 3.42 csys = 35.62 CPU) Result: FAIL Failed 1/124 test programs. 1/1420 subtests failed. make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255 CHM/PDL-2.006.tar.gz /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK //hint// to see the cpan-testers results for installing this module, try: reports CHM/PDL-2.006.tar.gz Running make install make test had returned bad status, won't install without force Failed during this command: CHM/PDL-2.006.tar.gz : make_test NO Kind of weird because when I look at the tests section I only see one slatec.t failure. _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
