in thread How can I install PDL?

maybe the Strawberry canned PDL version is worth a try?

Certainly good advice.

As regards hsfrey's test failures, I think it's just that Win32::IPC needs to be installed. (cpan -i Win32::IPC)
UPDATE: Oops ... those were GrandFather's test failures that I was looking at - and I think swl is right.

Cheers,

    Force was required to install Win32::IPC. That doesn't fix things though. The PDL build badness seems to start with:

    g++ Core.def -o ..\..\blib\arch\auto\PDL\Core\Core.xs.dll -mdll -s -L" +C:\STRAWB~1\perl\lib\CORE" -L"C:\STRAWB~1\c\lib" Core.o pdlcore.o pdl +api.o pdlhash.o pdlthread.o pdlconv.o pdlmagic.o pdlsections.o "C:\ +STRAWB~1\perl\lib\CORE\libperl532.a" -lmoldname -lkernel32 -luser32 - +lgdi32 -lwinspool -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 +-lnetapi32 -luuid -lws2_32 -lmpr -lwinmm -lversion -lodbc32 -lodbccp3 +2 -lcomctl32 -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base Core.o:Core.c:(.text+0x51): undefined reference to `Perl_get_context' Core.o:Core.c:(.text+0x5d): undefined reference to `Perl_av_len' Core.o:Core.c:(.text+0xab): undefined reference to `Perl_get_context'

    and continues in a similar vein for about 2000 lines.

    Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond

      Could this be due to the same cause as the PAR::Packer failures in 11121708? If so then it could be path related as per 11121710 and 11121711.
