strange error during make of gd-library


trying to compile gd-library after configure and getting this:

Code:
.
.
.
rm -fr .libs/libgd.la .libs/libgd.* .libs/libgd.*
 gcc -shared gd.lo gdfx.lo gd_gd.lo gd_gd2.lo gd_io.lo gd_io_dp.lo
gd_gif_in.lo gd_gif_out.lo gd_io_file.lo gd_io_ss.lo gd_jpeg.lo gd_png.lo
gd_ss.lo gd_topal.lo gd_wbmp.lo gdcache.lo gdfontg.lo gdfontl.lo gdfontmb.lo
gdfonts.lo gdfontt.lo gdft.lo gdhelpers.lo gdkanji.lo gdtables.lo gdxpm.lo
wbmp.lo -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib
-L/usr/local/lib -L/home/bla/files/linux_progs/source/gd-2.0.28 -ljpeg
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so -lpng12 -lz -lm -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib
-Wl,-rpath -Wl,-soname -Wl,libgd.so.2 -o .libs/libgd.so.2.0.0
 /usr/bin/ld: cannot open libgd.so.2: No such file or directory
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 make[2]: *** [libgd.la] Error 1
 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/bla/files/linux_progs/source/gd-2.0.28'
 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bla/files/linux_progs/source/gd-2.0.28'
 make: *** [all] Error 2
It's trying to create a file in ./libs but I just can't understand why it can't do it??!
I'm running make as root...the folder (and the whole tree) has root as owner...?!

Can anyone answer this??
Thanx!

it's looking for this shared library..............

do a "find" for this shared library--------libgd.so.2.0.0

if you have it....just make a symlink


Code:
libgd.so.2.0.0 -> libgd.so.2

There is already a libgd.so.2 in the same folder as libgd.so.2.0.0 which is /usr/local/lib. In fact I think that the file libgd.so.2.0.0 is a symlink from libgd.so.2
Is there anything else I can do to make it work??

It's by the way a RH 8.0 system
