Maximilian - I must admit, it's a bit unexpected to see an email to the perldl list addressed to David. Were you intentionally writing to me? I presume you were reading about Installing PDL Manually<http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pdl/index.php?title=Installing_PDL_Manually>, and I guess I did write a lot of that... Anyway, on to your question.
You report an issue very similar to what Luis Mochan also just reported earlier today. Interestingly, you both report a problem with v2.006, and I *highly* suspect that this problem has been resolved with Chris Marshall's latest work on the 64-bit support. But if not, I'm sure Chris is very anxious to get some feedback. Could you reply and let us know (1) what version of Perl are you using and (2) is your machine 32-bit or 64-bit? It's about bed time on the US East Coast, so you may not get much feedback in the next few hours. If you want to try installing the very latest PDL, with Chris's latest work, you can do either of the following: 1) Install App::cpanminus (which, astoundingly, does not have an Arch package yet) using CPAN, or whatever other means you like. Then say $ cpanm git://git.code.sf.net/p/pdl/code.git and report back how it goes. 2) Clone the latest git repo into your own directory: $ cd your/preferred/projects/directory/ $ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/pdl/code pdl $ cd pdl $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test # If all goes well: $ make install and report back how it goes. So, yeah, please reply with your system's specks, and if you give either of those options a whirl, I hope they go well. David P. S. I really liked Arch when I used it, but I am now on Debian. If you are interested in Arch, I think I can speak for everyone in saying we would *love* to have regular feedback from an Arch user. So I hope we get these issues worked out quickly, and that you stick around for a little bit. :-) On Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 6:43 AM, Maximilian Krautloher < [email protected]> wrote: > Dear David, > > I have some trouble installing PDL via the CPAN-option on an Archlinux > machine.
