Thanks, but the PDL problem seems to have been solved by the patch I was given. > > > Gimp object version 1.18 does not match bootstrap parameter 1.2 at > > /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/Gimp.pm line 20. > > Some terrible installation problem must have happened.

I did wonder if this was the problem, but soon dismissed it as I don't seem to have the sources for version 1.18 on my disk. I tend to keep old source files around, as I've a reasonable amount of disk space (40 Gb) for a home computer, with quite a bit spare. Perhaps I did at one time have version 1.18. but I only seem to have sources for versions 1.0.4, 1.1.14, 1.1.19, 1.1.25 and now 1.1.26. Anyway, I'll try to find the old file that seems to be causing the problem. -- Dr. David Kirkby Ph.D, Senior Research Fellow, Department of Medical Physics, University College London, 11-20 Capper St, London, WC1E 6JA.
