Well, I'm not an expert, but I believe there is a problem with the version of the gd library that Cygwin provides. It looks like the install routine is looking for version 2.1.0, but Cygwin only provides 2.0.36. Looking at the "Issues" list on Meta::CPAN, it seems like version conflicts with this library have been an ongoing issue for a long time. Sorry I couldn't help more. Update: See my next post farther down. I managed to get GD running on my Cygwin setup. --Nick	[reply]

libdg-2.1.0 is in cygwin/lib/libgd-2.1.0. gd 2.0.36 is in /usr/bin/ and was installed using the Cygwin package manager. Perl, Cygwin, and using a Linux-like environment are all completely new to me, so forgive me if my questions seem naive.	[reply]

I went ahead and attempted to install GD on my Cygwin setup, and managed to get it running. You will need to have installed from Cygwin the following libraries: gd (ver. 2.0.36RC1-1), libgd-devel (ver. 2.0.36RC1-1), libiconv (ver. 1.14-1). I'm wondering if you tried to add libgd to Cygwin from an outside source, since your version number doesn't match Cygwin's latest. Anyhow, give it a whirl and let me know how it goes. And, congratulations on your UNIX/Linux and Perl journey! I hope you find it as rewarding as I have. :-) --Nick	[reply]
