Hi, Math-GSL-0.16 fails to install. The problem occurs here: gcc -I/usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE -c -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wno-unused-function -Wno-unused-value -Wno-unused-function -Wno-unused-variable -o xs/Poly_wrap.o xs/Poly_wrap.c xs/Poly_wrap.c: In function ‘_wrap_gsl_poly_complex_eval’: xs/Poly_wrap.c:2516: error: incompatible types in assignment xs/Poly_wrap.c: In function ‘_wrap_gsl_complex_poly_complex_eval’: xs/Poly_wrap.c:2626: error: incompatible types in assignment error building .o file from 'xs/Poly_wrap.c' at inc/GSLBuilder.pm line 182. I am using perl 5.8.8 and gcc 4.2.4 on i686 GNU/Linux (Ubuntu). Thanks for doing a great job making GSL available to perl users.

Hello, Which version of GSL are you using? You can find that out with: gsl-config --version I imagine it is 1.10, which is known to not like Math::GSL. If it is possible for you to upgrade to GSL 1.12 I am pretty sure that will solve your problems *and* you will get about 2 years worth of GSL features and bugfixes!

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. I am using GSL 1.12. I gave up on Math-GSL-0.16 but I just found that Math-GSL-0.18 installs without problem. Again many thanks. J-K On Thu, 2009-03-26 at 23:15 -0400, Jonathan Leto via RT wrote: Show quoted text
