Cool -- it works. You need the GNU scientific libraries gsl, and the plplot
plotting package installed. (Although the configure scripe checks for these
it doesn't exit with an error status, so if you do
./configure && make && make install
you get a compile-time error)
Debian testing users will need to install the separate plplot9-driver-xwin
package for the plots to actually work.
I shall begin testing GDL on some real-world code .... roll on contour!
And remember that a few years ago, the main implementation of S was S-Plus,
while R was a toy. R has now taken much of S-Plus's mindshare. OTOH, octave
has stagnated as a clone of a very old version of Matlab. Which will be the
main implementation of IDL five years' time: RSI's or GDL?
