[Ifeffit] Demeter installation on Debian

Isabelle,

Problem 1:

I don't know why PDL::Stats is not installing correctly on your 
computer.  That would be an issue to take up with its maintainer.

Perhaps the easiest solution for you would be to install the debian 
package, which, in debian, is called libpdl-stats-perl.

Problem 2:

The error about Clone.pm not being installed suggests that another 
dependency, called PPI, did not install correctly.  I would recommend 
installing the debian package for that one as well.  Doing so should 
resolve all of PPI's own dependencies.  In debian, that one is called 
libppi-perl.

Try installing those two debian packages and trying the ".\Build" step 
again.  Let us know if  that does the trick.

Cheers,
B

PS: I suppose I should mention that Demeter does not really care how you 
resolve its dependencies.  The Build script makes no assumption about 
what kind of computer it is running on and so tries to resolve all of 
the dependencies by downloading and build the individual perl packages. 
  However, resolving Demeter's dependencies by installing system 
specific packages (in this case, the debian packages) is functionally 
equivalent.  So that is a good strategy for getting past a hurdle like this.
