Hi Max- The correct way to get the latest PDL-2.007 pre-release is to use cpanm with a distribution pathname rather than just a module name:
cpanm CHM/PDL-2.006_91.tar.gz # the current version and CHM/PDL-2.006_92.tar.gz will be released by tomorrow with an annoucement via the perldl list when it is available. Unfortunately, you appear to have caught the git repository in a state where it couldn't build. The problem has been fixed but you managed to get caught. You also did an install which means you should definitely remove the installed PDL files before building/testing/installing another PDL. The simplest way to be certain that you have removed all the PDL install is to use the unix find command to locate directories named PDL in the perl library paths. If you do a global find on /usr you'll probably find them as well. Then do a rm -r on the PDL directories. Be careful with the rm step! This is what I find on my cygwin setup: > find $PERL5LIB /usr/lib/perl5 -type d -name PDL > /cygdrive/f/perl/local/lib/perl5/cygwin-thread-multi-64int/auto/PDL > /cygdrive/f/perl/local/lib/perl5/cygwin-thread-multi-64int/auto/Test/PDL > /cygdrive/f/perl/local/lib/perl5/cygwin-thread-multi-64int/PDL > /cygdrive/f/perl/local/lib/perl5/cygwin-thread-multi-64int/PDL/HtmlDocs/PDL > /cygdrive/f/perl/local/lib/perl5/PDL > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/PDL > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/PDL > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/PDL Other than that problem, the rest of your output seems ok. Let me know how an attempt with cpanm and the distribution path works. BTW, the permissions problem is likely because the build had failed.
