I tried to removing Dev-cpp and Activeperl from windows path

As long as their listing in $PATH occurs after /usr/bin, their presence should not matter - assuming that /usr/bin contains a 'make.exe', a 'ggc.exe', and a 'perl.exe' etc. (I wonder if it's the cpan shell that's doing something to stuff things up. I'm assuming that we're in the cpan shell that belongs to usr/bin/perl, not ActivePerl.)

So, it gets to the point where we need to see the 'perl Makefile.PL' and 'make' output.

'cd' to some location (say ~/modules) and manually extract the PDL source (tar zxvf /location_of/PDL-2.4.6.tar.gz)

Then run perl Makefile.PL >p.txt 2>&1 followed by make >m.txt 2>&1. Then send us a copy'n'paste of p.txt. It may be that m.txt is too large to post to perlmonks (depending upon when the error occurs). If it's not too big to post to perlmonks, then send us a copy'n'paste of it, too. Otherwise it would probably be best to move this over to the PDL list where you can send copies of 'p.txt' and 'm.txt' as attachments.

Cheers,
Rob
