Hi Sluggers: I am trying to install the Perl "GD" (version 1.3.8) module, from CPAN, on my server.
However I am getting error message after doing a "make". The error I am getting is pasted below : ---------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ------------------- LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib" gcc -o blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.so -shared -L/usr/local/lib GD.o -L/usr/lib/X11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lgd -lpng -lz -lfreetype -ljpeg -lm -lX11 -lXpm /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfreetype collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.so] Error 1 ---------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ------------------- I noticed that the make said the following before giving this error message: "NOTICE: This module requires libgd 1.8.4 or higher (shared library version 4.X)." I am unsure how to check the current version of "libgd" my server is running. How do I find this out ? With the above error message, I manually went in the "Makefile.PL" file and prevented it to include the "-lfreetype" switch, but then it complains about "-lX11" switch. Is this problem related with the "ligb" version issue ? If it's "libgd" related where can I get the version "GD" module requires ? My server is running Red hat Linux 7.1 .
