Re: How can I install PDL?

I tried installing PDL using cpan against:

This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 0 (v5.32.0) built for MSWin32-x
+64-multi-thread
[download]

on a Windows 10 machine. My experience was similar except that I noticed lots of pointer/integer size warnings and various other issues that may be 64bit compile related. The (almost) last part of the output contains lots of stuff like:

which doesn't look very encouraging. Before that there is what, to my inexperienced eye, looks like a shit ton of link errors for process management code. I suspect there is no trivial fix hanging in the wings.

However, unless you have put your Perl scripts in an unfortunate place, there should be no issue of clobbering your code installing a new version of Perl so maybe the Strawberry canned PDL version is worth a try? You can always copy your Perl scripts some place safe before you start just to be sure.

maybe the Strawberry canned PDL version is worth a try? Certainly good advice. As regards hsfrey's test failures, I think it's just that Win32::IPC needs to be installed. (`cpan -i Win32::IPC`) UPDATE: Oops ... those were GrandFather's test failures that I was looking at - and I think swl is right. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

Force was required to install Win32::IPC. That doesn't fix things though.

Could this be due to the same cause as the PAR::Packer failures in 11121708? If so then it could be path related as per 11121710 and 11121711.	[reply]
