I get this when I try and install Math::Pari
paulo@angelfyr:~/Math-Pari-2.010706$ perl Makefile.PL
Did not find GP/PARI build directory around.
Do you want to me to fetch GP/PARI automatically?
(If you do not, you will need to fetch it manually, and/or direct me to
the directory with GP/PARI source via the command-line option
paridir=/dir)
Make sure you have a large scrollback buffer to see the messages.
Fetch? (y/n, press Enter) y
Getting GP/PARI from ftp://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/unix/
Did not find any file matching
/((?:.*\/)?pari\W*(?!2\.3\.)(\d+\.\d+\.\d+).*\.t(?:ar\.)?gz)$/ via FTP
at utils/Math/PariBuild.pm line 219, <STDIN> line 1.
Can't fetch file with Net::FTP, now trying with LWP::UserAgent...
Did not find any file matching
/((?:.*\/)?pari\W*(?!2\.3\.)(\d+\.\d+\.\d+).*\.t(?:ar\.)?gz)$/ via FTP
at utils/Math/PariBuild.pm line 249.
When I went to the FTP site, there were various versions available and I
downloaded the latest one (2.3.1). However this will not install with
Math::Pari and results in a segfault whenever math::pari is called.
After a couple of hours of googling I found that I should match the pari
version with the perl module version.
So for Math-Pari-2.010706 you should use pari-2.1.7.tgz. This is not
mentioned in the README or INSTALL docs of Math::Pari that I can see. I
installed the correct version and Math::Pari built and tested perfectly.
Can you please fix the FTP URL and make it request the correct version
of the GP/PARI module
Regards,
Paul
