Dear Kristian,

I hope your travels home went well.  It was very productive to have you 
visit, and I once again thank you for your assistance with Mcstas.

I had no trouble downloading the external packages the next week; the 
network recovered quite nicely.  However, I have had no luck trying to 
install it.  I installed the PGPLOT and PDL rpms with no trouble, as well 
as the perl-PGPLOT source rpm.  However, I could not get the perl-PGPLOT
to compile.  I wonder if you might have any specific directions.

Here is a transcript of a session...

..........
ivu % perl Makefile.PL 
Found compiler g77
ExtUtils::F77: Using system=Generic compiler=G77
Checking for gcc in disguise
Compiler is gcc version 2.7.2.3ExtUtils::F77: Validating 
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.90.29 -L/usr/lib -lf2c -lm 
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.7.2.3 -lgcc   [ok]
ExtUtils::F77: Compiler: g77
ExtUtils::F77: Cflags: -O
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lcpgplot

Obviously the difficulty is that there is no cpgplot, either library or 
headers.  Is this supposed to be a part of the PGPLOT distribution?

Best regards,
Erik Iverson
