Problem Installing GD 2.16 Perl Module with Slackware 10
 

I am running Slackware 10 and would like to install GD 2.16 to use with a rrdtool database program. Whenever I try to install the module, or even an earlier 2.x version of it, I get the following output:

Executing /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL && make ..

NOTICE: This module requires libgd 2.0.12 or higher.
it will NOT work with earlier versions.
See www.cpan.org for versions of GD that are compatible
with earlier versions of libgd.

If you are using Math::Trig 1.01 or lower, it has a bug that
causes a "prerequisite not found" warning to be issued. You may
safely ignore this warning.

Type perl Makefile.PL -h for command-line option summary


Where is libgd installed? [/usr/lib] /usr/lib

Please choose the features that match how libgd was built:
Build JPEG support? [y] y
Build FreeType support? [y] y
Build XPM support? [y] y

If you experience compile problems, please check the @INC, @LIBPATH and @LIBS
arrays defined in Makefile.PL and manually adjust, if necessary.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

What am I missing here? Thanks.

Which version of libgd do you have? :)

Hi there -- What command would I run to determine the version number? Thanks.

Depends on how you installed it - but
locate libgd
should do :)


Cheers,
