Re^3: PDL installation problem

downloaded the PDL modul but I dont find the MAKEFILE.pl.

It's in the top level folder - ie in the same directory that contains the Basic and Demos folders (amongst other stuff).
You need to cd to that "top level folder" and run

perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/home/me/my_modules
[download]

(replacing "/home/me/my_modules" with whatever location you've selected.)

It's the same procedure for other modules - cd to the top level folder. Maybe you should try the pre-requisite modules first .... they're much smaller and simpler, and will give you the idea of what's supposed to happen. (Also, they're supposed to be installed *before* building PDL.)

Cheers,
Rob

thanks rob, tried it again and PDL needs Astro::FITS::Header started with Astro::FITS::Header `export PERL5LIB=/home/my_fodler/lib 1.: perl Build.PL INSTALL_BASE=/home/my_folder/lib 2.: ./Build -> OK ./Build test -> OK ./Build install -> Warning: You do not have permissions to install + into /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5. +8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 114. mkdir /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Astro: Permission denied at + /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 176` [download] I set the path but he wants to install again on usr/.... ??????

In addition to Anonymous Monk's reply, I notice there's also a typo in what you've tried. In the PERL5LIB setting you specified "fodler" instead of "folder". Also, if you run `perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/home/my_folder/lib` [download] I think you'll find that PERL5LIB would need to be set to `/home/my_folder/lib/lib/perl5` [download] and it's probably the same with Build.PL and --install_base. Anyway, see how you go - you can always amend your PERL5LIB setting as necessary. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Now I think i destroyed something....I tried to install local:lib with that instruction: http://perl.jonallen.info/writing/articles/install-perl-modules-without-root after setting: echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/local-lib-1.008004/lib -Mlocal::lib)' >>~/.bashrc something is wrong. Each time if I open a new terminal i got this message inside the terminal (and also all colleagues who are working under that username) `Can't locate local/lib.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/XXX compilation aborted` [download] how can i desinstall or cancel this local::lib stuff????

Makefile.PL is not Build.PL :) use `--install_base /home/user/stuff`, see Re: One liner to config cpan to install all dependencies automatically along with temp modules?	[reply] [d/l]
