sounds to me like your gdlib-config program is broken.
I had similar difficulties:
With older versions of the gd png+jpeg library, there is no gdlib-config
at all.
I don't mind if you don't deal with this, or don't deal with it right
away, but a discussion of appropriate gdlib versions with a URL to find
it would be a nice addition to the installation instructions.
Coping with old gdlib's might be as simple as just trying AC_CHECK_LIB()
or even just adding -lgd and hoping for the best if gdlib-config doesn't
exist.
(I first tried out the pcb snapshot on a fedora core 2 machine, which
has gd-2.0.21. Yes, I know I should just upgrade, but fc4's anaconda
can't deal with the software-raid from fc2, etc, etc.)
I've built with 2.0.23 which is at least a few years old. Haven't tried
anything older. Do you know when gdlib-config first appeared?
Anyway, I added the AC_CHECK_LIB(gd) as basically a hail mary if
gdlib-config can't be found. I also gutted the INSTALL file as it was
very out of date.
