Make sure you have downloaded and installed the following packages: a. Perl 5.6.0 or higher: http://www.perl.com/ b. The gd graphics library: http://www.boutell.com/gd/ c. The PNG graphics library: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html d. The zlib compression library: http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ (OPTIONAL) e. The FreeType font rendering library for TrueType fonts: http://www.freetype.org/ f. The JPEG library, version 6b or later: ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/ g. The XPM library, a standard part of modern X Windows distributions. If you don't have a modern version of X, don't try to get XPM working. If this module fails to compile and link, you are probably using an older version of libgd. Symptoms of this problem include errors about functions not being recognized in the gd.h header file, and undefined symbols from the linker. If you are having this type of error, please REMOVE all versions of libgd, gd.h from your system and reinstall libgd 2.0.28 or higher. Do not contact Lincoln for help until you have done this. When making JPEG, please note: * If you want to build libjpeg as a shared library, say ./configure --enable-shared To get both shared and static libraries, say ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static Generally you need the --enable-shared.
