Make sure you run the unusual make install targets or you'll have
trouble linking with other ports. I am really not sure what the point
of the make install target is...

Folks,
I am proceeding nowhere, and I am hoping someone on this list can
point me toward a solution. I have gd 1.8.4 installed and Apple's
stock perl 5.6.0. Everytime I run this one perl program that uses gd,
I get the following error --
Searching around on Google I discover that this dynaloader failure
seems to be associated with incompatible modules. It seems that for
some reason make install doesn't always completely overwrite the
files in /Library/Perl. It is suggested that I can remove the shared
libraries like this:
% find /Library/Perl -name '*.bundle' -print | xargs rm -i
I see there is the GD.bundle that, I think, might be causing the
incompatibility problem. Except, I was getting the above messages even
before I installed GD.pm. Anyway, I back up the GD.bundle, and try
building everything again... still no success. Exactly the same
problem.
Here is the interesting thing -- Everything worked with 10.1.x using
the same version of all other programs involved. Btw, I thought the
problem might be because I had built gd with gcc 2.95 (one of the
programs I need to build requires gg 2.95). But that is also not the
problem because I rebuilt gd with gcc 3.1 and still got the same error.
Seems like my Perl is incompatible with my gd, or the perl module I am
using (mapscript.bundle above) that incompatible with my gd. Except, I
don't how to resolve this. I can't ask the mapscript makers because
they don't use OS X, and besides, the same mapscript worked fine with
10.1.x anyway. I know you folks may not know about mapscript, but you
are perl and OS X gurus. So, I stand a better chance here.
