Subject: don't know how to install in non-standard location
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 10:16:53 -0700 (PDT)
To: bug-PDL [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Bernard Kelly <beany_kelly [...] yahoo.com>
Hi. I'm trying to install PDL on my local machine, but I -don't- have root access, and want to point the installer to a location where I have write permissions. With an installation procedure beginning with "./configure", I can just use the "--prefix=" option to specify my new target directory. But I don't know what to do with PDL & perldl.conf. It seems to have options for where to find other packages, but not where to put itself. I'm using version 2.4.3, but I suspect this isn't relevant. Show quoted text

See the README, INSTALL,... files in the PDL source distribution for info. The perldl mailing list with archives is a good place to start. Do "perldoc perlfaq8<CR>" at the command line to get started on maintaining a private module dir. perlfaq8: System Interaction o How do I keep my own module/library directory?

The PDL FAQ has been updated with some install from the standard perl references on the use of a local module installation. This is not a PDL bug specifically.
