It's best that Cygwin uses its own compiler and make utility - so you really do need to make the Dev-CPP stuff invisible. Firstly, are you running Cygwin from its bash shell ? (Double click \cygwin\cygwin.bat - there's probably a desktop icon that acts as a shortcut to that file.) Then, in that Cygwin shell, run `echo $PATH`. What does that produce ?

I am running bash and this is what I get for PATH Ok - thanks. Can you show us the results of running the following commands. (For reference, I'll also show what I get.) Rob@desktop2 ~ $ which perl /usr/bin/perl Rob@desktop2 ~ $ which gcc /usr/bin/gcc Rob@desktop2 ~ $ which make /usr/bin/make Rob@desktop2 ~ $ perl -e 'print $^X' /usr/bin/perl.exe Rob@desktop2 ~ $ perl -V:make make='make'; Rob@desktop2 ~ $ perl -V:cc cc='gcc'; Rob@desktop2 ~ $ perl -v This is perl, v5.8.8 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int (with 8 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2006, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License + or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source ki +t.

If it's ActiveState perl then you should be building stuff for it in the cmd.exe shell using either mingw (which I see you have) or a Microsoft compiler. It would be rather tricky and somewhat unusual to be building extensions PDL for ActivePerl inside the Cygwin environemnt. If you want PDL to run with ActivePerl perl, it should build easily in the cmd.exe shell using mingw - or you can just ppm install PDL from http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx (perl-5.10) or http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ (perl-5.8).

You don't have a shell set? Well, I guess my not-Windows experience is bleeding through. You could probably set a shell, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that and it looks like you're getting better advice in some of the other responses. If you ever run into trouble in the future with a CPAN installation and want to try running the installation by hand, you should figure out how to set the shell (the command is given in the error message) and then it shold work. Good luck!	[reply]
