I noticed in my search for information that the particular module "Math::Pari" was discussed a LOT over the many years past. Unfortunately, the problem I'm having doesn't seem to have been brought up. This could be because:

1) I'm an ID10T <- very possible ... or
2) I really do have a problem.

You see - thanks to "security" concerns - I've been forced to do away with Net::Telnet and in its place I'm to institute Net::SSH::Perl. That's all fine and good, but this particular module requires so many other fine Perl modules and I'm having quite a blast installing them all - particularly, Math::Pari...

I'm using 5.10 on an Ubuntu 8.10 load (2.6.27-7). I've followed the basic/advanced instructions in the README and INSTALL, plus followed along with advice in other threads regarding this same Module, all to no avail. Enjoy the following:

  ### Math::Pari support of GP/PARI library version 2.3.* should be
  ###   considered cursory only.  One may need to downgrade to 2.1.7,
  ###   or run Makefile.PL with option machine=none if the tests fail.

  ### The test t/55_intnum.t takes a very long time to complete.

As you can see, I'm not getting past the 'make test'. Any help you can offer or light you may shed in my direction is greatly appreciated.
