PDL::Fit::Levmar installation notes. You **must** have the perl module **PDL** **installed** **before** building this module. The linux package is often called 'pdl'. If you manage to port this module to Win32, I'd like to hear about it, but I don't know how to do it. You may need to edit this line in Makefile.PL: $hash{LIBS} = [ ' -lm -llapack -lblas ']; to give the proper flags to the linker regarding your lapack and blas libraries. For the most part, under a fairly standard linux installation, and only if you have the dependencies (see below) installed... Build: perl Makefile.PL && make Test: 'make test 2> err.out' or, if that fails, ' make test '. You can see a bit more detail if you do ./levtest Install: To install, as root, do make install ------------------------------------ Dependencies: The following shared libraries or equivalents are required (version numbers are those used for testing this module.) liblapack.so.3 libblas.so.3 libg2c.so.0 Linking against these shared libaries requires, for instance under debian, that the following development packages be installed. libg2c0-dev GNU Fortran 77 library development lapack3-dev library of linear algebra routines 3 - static library refblas3-dev Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3, static library These libraries are used in building upstream levmar library.
