| Subject: | ExtUtils::PkgConfig version 1.14 fails to behave as system pkg-config command |
I encountered the following problem with ExtUtils::PkgConfig while
trying to install Math::GSL. I'm pinpointing the problem to
ExtUtils::PkgConfig based on other tests I ran after the build failure.
Attached are some simple tests and the results I wrote using IPC::Cmd to
run the system pkg-config utility to test the output. Using the system
pkg-config utility gsl is located and the results are the same as
gsl-config. The attached files are PkgConf gsl.pl, pkgconfig.pl, and
ipccmd_results.txt.

Checking for GSL..
Found GSL 1.15 (via gsl-config) installed in /usr,
