CPAN.pm: Building I/IL/ILYAZ/modules/Math-Pari-2.010808.zip Did not find GP/PARI build directory around. Apparently, you are running a 64-bit Perl built with MicroSoft's compilers. GP/PARI (at least the versions I know how to work with, 2.1.* and 2.3.*) cannot be built in this environment. I won't auto-download GP/PARI. If you believe that this message is printed erroneously, please report (see files README and INSTALL), and put force_download on the command line: perl Makefile.PL force_download One can rerun Makefile.PL after fetching GP/PARI archive (e.g., pari-2.1.7.tgz, or pari-2.3.4.tar.gz) manually to the current directory, or a (grand)parent directory of the current directory. [Keep in mind that the numbers "inside version" of Math::Pari module correspond to the last versions of GP/PARI it was tested with (additionally, 2.0108* works best with the last 2.1.* version, 2.1.7). As an alternative to having archive in CWD or its (grand)parent, specify pari_tgz=PATH_TO_TAR_GZ option to Makefile.PL. There is no need to extract the archive, or build GP/PARI; but if you have it extracted [and patched, if needed], you may specify paridir=PATH_TO_DIST_DIR option to Makefile.PL instead of `pari_tgz'. However, in this case the files WON'T be auto-patched. As a last-resort solution, there is also a possibility to use an already compiled PARI library. See the documentation in README and INSTALL files.] Could not find GP/PARI build directory, please run Makefile.PL with paridir=/directory option.
