#6 Installation with cpan2rpm

[Anonymous]

Hi PDL developers

I was not able to install PDL using
cpan2rpm <http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/>.
The reason for this is maybe that PDL ignore
some kind of buildprefix.

I don't see this as a high priority compared to getting 2.4.3 out the door, but it
is useful to do -- so I'm placing it on "low priority" status and postponing it.
Any takers?

The problem is some missing references to $(DESTDIR) in
Makefile.PL. I will attach a patch. This doesn't appear to
be a complete solution to getting a clean RPM, but it's a start.
