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

Those messages regarding missing libraries would have appeared during the building of the PDL module. When building the PDL module, no attempt is made to locate PLplot. You won't get to see Cannot find plplot library (libplplotd.so) until you attempt to build the PDL::Graphics::PLplot module (if libplplotd.so can't be found).

Having installed hdf, GD, and Proj you will then have to rebuild PDL in order for PDL to make use of those libraries. (I think cpan -fi PDL will provide you with that rebuild.)

I am going to try cpan -i PDL::Graphics::PLplot to see if I get any different messages.
Yes, I think that's probably the best approach.

Cheers,
Rob
