LinuxQuestions.org - Assistance installing GD

Hi folks,

I'm trying to get GD installed on Fedora Core 5. I've successfully ran the following:

yum install gd-devel
yum install php-gd

They went off without a hitch, and I've restarted apache. However runnnig bugzilla's checksetup, I get the following:

So I've tried installing the perl modules from CPAN, and I get this:

And I'm not really sure how to proceed - any of the modules I try to install get me a lot of those odd ascii characters. Any advice would really be appreciated. Thanks!
