Hi,

I am VERY new to Linux and am trying to install gd. I already installed ZLIB and PNG, which I think are prerequisites. When I get to the "make install" I get the following message:

[root@sandbox gd]# make install

After doing some Internet searching, it seems I have to install XPM.
This may not be correct--please let me know if it is not. Anyway, I am
trying to install XPM. I downloaded the xpm-3.4k.tar.gz, created a
directory for it, and when I type "make -f Makefile.noX" I get the
following:

making all in ./lib...

I do not have imake so I cannot go that way. I can try and figure out
how to configure imake, though that would probably be a whole other
undertaking. I know it said I might have to change either the main
makefile.noX or one of the makefile.noX's in the subdirectories, but I
am not sure how to change it. It just seems to list directories in
which files will be installed, as well as other stuff which I don't
think I want to mess with. I also searched for xpm.h on my system and
it doesn't seem to be located anywhere. I read elsewhere on the
Internet about installing some kind of development packages, but I
can't seem to find which ones. I installed xorg-x11-sdk though I am
not sure whether that is relevant.

Please help ASAP!

Thanks,
Rachel

First, what distro are you using and can you install GD from that distro's repositories?

This is from the GD manualThis indicates to me that there is a switch that can be passed to the configure script to NOT build the xpm stuff in GD. If you don't need it, don't build it and the problem is solved(?).

Assuming that you do want the xpm stuff, you would need to install the development stuff for X Windows provided by your distro. This would be called something like xorg-dev or xorg-devel. The package you installed, xorg-x11-sdk, is for building external drivers and does not, AFAIK, provide the headers.

For the first error, you need to install libXpm-devel. It could have a slightly different name depending on the distro you are using.
