I am trying to install gd.pm. I have successfully installed gd with jpeg and png support as outlined in the article at stepwise.com. I then tried to use CPAN to install gd.pm, however it complained that about an error in the make step.

What did it complain about? Did you search the archives of this list to see if other people have run into the same problems?

So, I tried to do it manually. First I went to the directory and did the following:

bhmecham% perl Makefile.pl
This command complained about an error in the file regarding an email address that was improperly typed in the file. So I fixed it

Did you read the INSTALL doc or the README to find out if you did need to 'fix' this or if it was a known issue with a known solution?

and again typed perl Makfile.pl. This time it worked fine. However when I type make I get the following.

bhmecham% make

Are you sure you shouldn't be trying to do this as root or a sudo'd user, instead?
