The instructions below work on my prototyping machine! Hurray! Thank you Jonathan! However, now I'm trying to install GD on a production machine that does not have internet access and the command "ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/GD.ppd"; does not execute on this production machine. How can I download this on my prototyping machine, ftp it to my production machine, and install it there?

(was RE: How to install GD for bugzilla) Dear Siegfried, http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/PPM/Repository Look at the bottom of the page: The GD module currently isn't available in the ActiveState PPM repository. This is because it is very difficult to build and is not suitable for ActiveState's automated build system, as it requires quite a external libraries. PPMs for the GD module can be found in other repositories and installed as follows: ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/GD.ppd This will install the GD PPM from the University of Winnipeg's version 5.8 PPM repository. For the 5.6 PPM repository, use: ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/GD.ppd __END__ Talk about pain! I couldn't install it due to (Bad protocol 'tcp') messages. You don't mention anything like that, so maybe... just maybe you'll get GD installed.
