Kevin, It looks like you are building with PDL-2.3.2. The current version is PDL-2.4.3. I'm not sure about the pod2man problem. That would be independent of PDL since pod2man is provided by the perl install. The current PDL requires perl 5.6 and really should be used with 5.8+. For additional help, you could check the mailing lists (live and archive). Look at http://pdl.perl.org and follow the links indicated there.

Chris, Turns out that the pod2man problem was specific to Redhat 9. --Kevin On Tue, 12 Dec 2006, Christopher Marshall via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Does that mean that you got things working with the latest PDL? Is this ticket #23681 still a problem? Is it a PDL problem? --Chris

Sorry, haven't checked. I'm in the middle of migrating to a new system. The basis for my previous comment was a post that mentioned the pod2man error was specific to my version of perl and my installation of Redhat. I assume that you can safely assume that there's nothing wrong with PDL. Show quoted text
