Hi all,

looks like PDL is back to haunt me :-(
I'm very greatfull for all the help you have given me. Now, a new problem arouse.

I was trying to compile PDL 2.4.2 again on another Windows XP SP2 machine (Which has Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 SP1, Microsoft .NET framework SDK 1.1, .Net framework, NMake 1.50, Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and Absoft Pro Fortran 8.0). I'm still using perl 5.8.6.

After I changed:

   cd Basic\Core
   nmake Core.xs
   del getdev.pl # this one is important, otherwise you get a
                 # circular Makefile dependence!
   cd ..\..
   perl Makefile.PL # with F77CONF=win32/win32f77.pl if you want slate
+c
   nmake

I get the following error message:

I installed the latest ExtUtil::MakeMaker (version 6.30)

I also deactivaded the PLPLOT and the SLATEC functions in perldl.conf and ran perl MakeFile.PL again, after which I ran nmake again.
Unfortunately, all efforts seem in vain.

Can someone help me?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
