I want to install GNU Data Language(GDL) on Ubuntu 14.04. Can anyone please tell me how to install it and whether I need to download any other software to fulfil all dependencies?

It is available to install from the Universe repository. In a terminal window just type:

sudo apt-get install gnudatalanguage

This will also automatically install any needed dependencies.

You can find out more information about this package on the Ubuntu website here.

    It may be necessary to enable the "Universe" repository first (it isn't usually part of the default sources.list): see [How do I enable the “Universe” repository?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/148638/how-do-i-enable-the-universe-repository) – steeldriver Oct 21 '15 at 21:56

you can easily compile a subset (without Eigen3) of the last version and the CVS snapshot using the script described here http://aramis.obspm.fr/~coulais/IDL_et_GDL/minimum_script4gdl.html

for such kind of numerical software it is often better to stick with the recent version (new features, bugs correction, improvement of perf' ...)

please notice that 3 related packages to GDL have been added in Debian (astro lib, mpfit, coyote lib)

(message from one of the GDL contributor)
