[Plplot-general] problems installing PDL with PLplot

[Albert K. <al...@ac...>]

I am running gentoo with perl and plplot installed.
$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i686-linux

$plplot-config  --version
5.3.1

However, I can't get PDL to install through either Gentoo's emerge or 
cpan install.  The bothersome thing is that I had plplot and PDL working 
about a week and ahlaf ago, but I tried to install PDL with Slatec and I 
haven't been able to get it to work since.  Here is the end of the 
install log.

Any help would be great. Thanks.  Albert
