Modifications to the PDL instructions: added an FTP download location, rewrite of the introductory text to include a discussion about a proper version of Fortran, updated some of the dependency package download URLs and changed the links to a Fortran compiler to the one on the BLFS Wiki

    7778    <para><application>PDL</application> is a collection of over 90
    7879    <application>Perl</application> modules. Some of these modules require
    79     additional libraries and/or <application>Perl</application> modules for full
    80     functionality. Listed below are the modules which require additional software
    81     or configuration. If you don't need a particular module's functionality, you don't
    82     need to install its dependencies. The dependency tree for each module is listed
    83     downward, meaning you'll need to start at the bottom of a module's tree and work
    84     up. The dependencies are listed in the same order as they are in the
    85     <filename>DEPENDENCIES</filename> file, found in the package source tree.</para>

     83    module's functionality, you don't need to install its dependencies. The

     90    <para>This package (and many of the dependency packages) requires a Fortran
     91    compiler for full functionality of all the different modules. The
     92    <command>gfortran</command> compiler installed with the current BLFS
     93    version of <application>GCC</application> (&gcc-version;) will not work. If
     94    you want to compile the parts of this package that require a Fortran
     95    compiler, you'll need to install a
     96    <application>GCC</application>-3.x.x version of Fortran. The
     97    <application>GCC</application> developers recommend using Fortran from
     98    <application>GCC</application>-3.4.6. You can find specific instructions
     99    to install a <application>GCC</application>-3.4.6 compiler on the
     100    <ulink url="http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gcc3">BLFS
     101    Wiki</ulink>. Alternatively, if you have a need to install
     102    <xref linkend="gcc3"/>, you can add the Fortran compiler to the list of
     103    compilers installed in those instructions. Don't forget to put the
     104    directory containing the <command>{g,f}77</command> commands at the
     105    beginning of your <envar>PATH</envar> environment variable before
     106    beginning the compilation.</para>
