Howdy, Thanks for trying out Math::GSL ! The issue is that ExtUtils::PkgConfig needs the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable to be set to find gsl.pc . Try doing a "locate gsl.pc" and then set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the directory that the file lives in. On my machine it is: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ Good luck and let us know if you have other issues. I think that I may add a check that sees if PKG_CONFIG_PATH is defined, and if not, set it automatically. I have that variable set in my .bashrc, but most people don't. ExtUtils::PkgConfig may also get packaged with Math::GSL in the future, so that it is not an external dependency. Please let us know if you have any other issues installing/using Math::GSL.

Hi Johnathan, Thank you for getting back to me with help installing Math::GSL. I am very excited to begin using it. I was able to get it to work: the problem was that yum installed GSL, but didn't install all of it (?) -- there was no "gsl.pc" file to be found anywhere. So I compiled and installed gsl from the tar distribution and it seems to have installed okay. One test failed during the install, though: make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mark/Download/gsl-1.12/poly' FAIL: y.real, gsl_complex_poly_complex_eval ({-2.31 + 0.44i, 4.21 - 3.19i, 0.93 + 1.04i, -0.42 + 0.68i}, 0.49 + 0.95i) (-1.68450788000000018 observed vs 1.82462012000000007 expected) [9] FAIL: y.imag, gsl_complex_poly_complex_eval ({-2.31 + 0.44i, 4.21 - 3.19i, 0.93 + 1.04i, -0.42 + 0.68i}, 0.49 + 0.95i) (-0.30943988 observed vs 2.30389411999999982 expected) [10] FAIL: test Also, SELinux is complaining a LOT about GSL - it complained during the install and every time I try to use it. The messages look something like this: SELinux is preventing perl from loading /root/.cpan/build/Math-GSL-0.20-PGjU2s/blib/arch/auto/Math/GSL/Diff/Diff.so which requires text relocation. also SELinux is preventing perl from loading /root/.cpan/build/Math-GSL-0.20-PGjU2s/blib/arch/auto/Math/GSL/Histogram/Histogram.so which requires text relocation. And I get above messages for just about every directory & .so file under /root/.cpan/build/Math-GSL-0.20-PGjU2s/blib/arch/auto/Math/GSL And when I try to run my program (called "dog") that uses Math::GSL, I get: SELinux is preventing dog from loading /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Math/GSL/Statistics/Statistics.so which requires text relocation. I'm not really sure how to handle this? Any ideas? Thank you very much for you help Sincerely, Mark McFarland On Wed, 2009-06-03 at 20:06 -0400, Jonathan Leto via RT wrote: Show quoted text

This should probably be reported to the GSL folks at http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gsl Show quoted text

Very interesting! It seems that perl does not have the proper SE Linux permission to do whatever magic it needs to do. Do you have control over these permissions? I did a quick search on the net and there seem to be other people having the same issue with SELinux+Perl, but an immediate solution didn't pop out at me. If you do find out how to resolve this under SELinux, please do let me know so I can add something about it in the documentation. Cheers, Show quoted text

Howdy, If you read the documenation for the main Math::GSL distribution, there are notes for how to get it to compile and work on SE Linux. Good Luck! Duke On Mon Jun 08 11:26:14 2009, mark80305 wrote: Show quoted text
