Hi all
Im installing a Perl package that requires the GD graphics library (compiled with True Type font support). I have installed
libgd-gd2-perl
Package: libgd-gd2-perl
Version: 1:2.12-1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.5-1), libgd2-xpm (>= 2.0.20), libjpeg62, libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.5.0-4), libx11-6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxpm4 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1), perl (>= 5.8.3-3), perlapi-5.8.3
Conflicts: libgd-noxpm-perl, libgd-perl, libgd-gd1-perl, libgd-gd1-noxpm-perl, libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl
Description: Perl module wrapper for libgd - gd2 variant
Provides PNG, JPEG, and XPM creation and manipulation routines through
the libgd library.
Also allows use of TrueType fonts in images created.
This package is linked against libgd2, with Xpm (X pixmap)
support.
When I go to install the Perl GD package I get this during the 'make test':
GD.xs:7:16: gd.h: No such file or directory
OK so I need a dev package that will contain the gd.h file. I have searched using apt-cache search libgd | grep dev and there are many possibilities.

The above are transitional packages. I cant find the ones that are the curent ones ie not transitional, that I should install.
