That was just the last part though, I presume there was a useful error message earlier. In any case, this is possible, I did it just last week. However, it doesn't work out of the box. I don't remember the exact problem and fix offhand (I had to fix up a few modules to get them to build on solaris), but I *think* there are some gcc specific flags in the Makefile that you'll need to deal with. I presume you have the GD library installed properly. If you need a bit more I can get you the exact fix tomorrow. -- Paul Johnson - p...@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
