I always get one of the GD tests failing but in reality it never causes any
problems I can't remember the detail but I think the binary file produced
in the PNG test does not match the test (we are using RH9 but with compiled
recent GD, PERL, Apache etc not the rpms). However we have not had any
problems with GD and png.
I would mention we found a serious GD issue when using PHP (which has its
own GD library). This affects both windows and linux in our
experience. If you use a default install of PHP, TT gets confused when
using GD and some graphs will not work (it is literally down to the number
of data points, probably some divide error, so won't happen with some data,
will with other on the same graph).
Our solution is to compile PHP using a compiled GD (the same one you
compiled for TT) and not use the default one. (I imagine there are other
ways too)
e.g.
ensure zlib was compiled with shared (otherwise compile errors).
./configure --shared;make;make install;
then for php-4.4.0
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql
--with-gd=/usr/local --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-tt
--enable-gd-native-ttf
make clean
make
make install
Don't know if that will help anyone :-)

I'm trying to install TT2 and failing tests 5,7,9,11 in t/gd.t. GD is
important to us, so I'd really like to resolve this.
perl 5.8.4 on FreeBSD 4.7
TT2 2.14 with XS Stash
