Hi newperldeveloper, The PDL::Graphics::PLplot distro is cunningly designed to play tricks. Here's what I get on Ubuntu-18.04, perl-5.32.0: $ cpanm -i PDL::Graphics::PLplot --> Working on PDL::Graphics::PLplot Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DH/DHUNT/PDL-Graphics-PLplot +-0.74.tar.gz ... OK Configuring PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.74 ... OK Building and testing PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.74 ... OK Successfully installed PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.74 1 distribution installed $ [download] But then: `$ perl -MPDL::Graphics::PLplot -le 'print "ok";' Can't locate PDL/Graphics/PLplot.pm in @INC (you may need to install t +he PDL::Graphics::PLplot module) (@INC contains: /home/sisyphus/perl- +5.32.0-d/lib/site_perl/5.32.0/x86_64-linux /home/sisyphus/perl-5.32.0 +-d/lib/site_perl/5.32.0 /home/sisyphus/perl-5.32.0-d/lib/5.32.0/x86_6 +4-linux /home/sisyphus/perl-5.32.0-d/lib/5.32.0). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.` [download] Turns out that I don't have the plplot library installed. The PDL-Graphics-PLplot distro is designed to fool the cpan and cpanm utilities into thinking that the build was a success, even when it failed. The cpan utility makes things a little more apparent: $ cpan -i PDL::Graphics::PLplot Loading internal logger.

Everything went fine, including `/usr/bin/make install` ;-) So, I'm thinking that you, too, might not have the plplot library installed. If that's not the case, let me know how I can get `apt-get` to install the plplot library on Ubuntu and I'll investigate your problem further. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`apt install libplplot-dev`, but I experience the problem reported in issue 6.	[reply] [d/l]

In my error log I did not get `Cannot find plplot library (libplplotd.so)` I did get a few others that I am going to install. `Cannot find hdf library, libdf.a. Cannot find GD library and Cannot find Proj library` I am going to try cpan -i PDL::Graphics::PLplot to see if I get any different messages.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
