Subject: make test fails if user is not "root"
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2009 12:03:41 +0200

Hi, I get a make test failure when trying to install PDL under ubuntu. It looks as if this affects all case when make test is not run as user "root" (on many linux systems this is now the default), because the test checks for the result of 'tilde expansion'. Resolution: maybe remove this test?

This problem has already been fixed in the PDL development branch. I would appreciate if you could check the latest CPAN developers release for PDL, currently CHM/PDL-2.4.4_13.tar.gz, and confirm. Thanks, Chris

I should have suggested CHM/PDL-2.4.4_08.tar.gz which is the last "stable" developers release. The current version is configured for testing the new TriD module and some of the build logic is in a state of flux. You should have better luck with version 2.4.4_08. If you are a PDL user or interested in using PDL or have some questions, I recommend joining the perldl mailing list. The instructions are at http://pdl.sourceforge.net/maillists/ . Announcements of new releases for test and other discussions take place there. The discussion archives are also helpful. Cheers, Chris

Also, make sure you do not have another version of PDL installed in your path already as that can result in weird test failures. --Chris
