>Sounds like the install process is failing to find the >freetype library. Is it installed? Hi Andrew. I just did a "locate freetype", a few things was returned. Is this the one you mean though : /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.0.1 If not where can I get this freetype thing. If yes sounds like I need to modify "Makefile.PL" to get it from "/usr/lib". Right !! Also when I removed the "freetype" switch I got an error with "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11" Does a Linux install include these stuff or are they seperate packages ? Also What is the command to find the current version of "libgd" that is installed ? Louis. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
