There appears to be a problem with file/directory permisions when Perl PDL is installed. If I run either a script with use PDL; or perldl as a normal user I get errors. If I log in as root, I no longer get the errors. perldl still mostly works with occasional errors that may or may not be due to this error, but sripts fail in the compilation step. I have duplicated this several times with the PDL ebuild and with a CPAN build of PDL, with the same results each time. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge PDL 2.as user perldl gives errors 3.as root perldl gives no errors Actual Results: karl@BushLeague-K karl $ perldl perlDL shell v1.33 PDL comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Sorry, I found the permissions on /tmp were wrong after doing a EVMS setup. Everything works fine now.
