Re^2: Hypergeometric Distribution

Hi,
If you need a Math-GSL (latest version 0.07) ppm for Win32, just save the below as 'Math-GSL.ppd':

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOFTPKG NAME="Math-GSL" VERSION="0,07,0,0">
  <TITLE>Math-GSL</TITLE>
  <ABSTRACT></ABSTRACT>
  <AUTHOR></AUTHOR>
  <IMPLEMENTATION>
    <OS NAME="MSWin32" />
    <ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8" />
    <CODEBASE HREF="http://members.optusnet.com.au/~sisyphus1/Math-GSL
+-0.07_58.tar.gz" />
    <PROVIDE NAME="Math::GSL" VERSION="0.07" />
  </IMPLEMENTATION>
</SOFTPKG>
[download]

Then run ppm install Math-GSL.ppd

Note that it apparently needs perl 5.8.8 - according to the requirements as specified by the module's authors.

In a week or so I'll see if randyk wants to put it (plus the 5.10 version) in his ppm reps. There's one minor problem with it at the moment (in that gsl_set_error_handler_off is not having the desired effect). It's easy to work around that shortcoming, but I'd like to get it sorted before I approach randyk.

Cheers,
Rob

Thank you, I tried this, and got the following error: Downloading Math-GSL-0.07...not found ppm install failed: 404 Not Found Does it matter what folder I place it in? Also, I am Windows XP, will this still work? Thank you so much! Aloha, Annette	[reply]

Does it matter what folder I place it in? No, it just needs to be in your current working directory. However, if you simply copy'n'paste the code I provided for the ppd file, it won't work - because of the line wrapping and the `+` symbol in the `CODEBASE HREF` link. You'll need to either download the file, or amend your copy'n'paste. I am Windows XP, will this still work? Yes - should work on XP as long as it's perl-5.8.8 that you're running.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have made me a happy cat! I did fix the line wrap last time, but silly me missed the + sign. You're a life saver! Much Mahalo as we say here! Aloha, Annette	[reply]
