perl-PDL

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Using perl (on fedora 16 x86_64), I got the following error message:

PDL::Graphics::PLplot needs to be recompiled against the newly  
installed PDL at /usr/lib64/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 213.

I checked that the 2 packages perl-PDL and perl-PDL-Graphics-PLplot  
were properly
updated.
Then, I decided to recomplie both (rpmbuild --rebuild) and I got the error:

Extracting Core.xs (WITH bad value support)
/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/share/perl5/ExtUtils/xsubpp  -typemap

Checking cpan, it looks like that I need another version of perl-PDL
(http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/pipermail/perldl/2011-October/005439.html):
PDL-2.4.9_008.tar.gz

But the question is how the availblae perl-PDL package has been compiled?

Any idea how I could fix this issue?

Thank.

Fedora 16 is dead
Fedora 17 is the latest supported version

AND NO THERE AR ENO SECURITY UPDATES AND YES THERE
ARE ENOUGH FAMOUS SECURITY BUGS IN RECENT KERNELS
WHICH FORBID RUN F16 ANY LONGER

the problem is that the update to fedora 17 failed (probably) because the
/usr /usr/lib and /
partitions need to be on the same partition!

and you can think you can sit this out?
unlikely!

having /usr on a sepearte partition is a broken idea since many years
