in thread GD-2.56 installation without root.

I simply install libgd-gd-2.1.1 by extrat it. ./confugure --prefix=same directory where I extarctit, make and make install I never used these things like ldconfig. libgd.so.3 is in the libgd-gd-2.1.1/lib/libgd.so.3 as a simlink (libgd.so.3 -> libgd.so.3.0.0) What I HAVE TO DO NOW ??

    What I HAVE TO DO NOW ??

    First off, please don't shout. This is a monastery - a place for quiet contemplation and devout learning. And you might wake up some of the more belligerent brethren.

    I suggest that you set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be the full path to wherever you installed libgd.so.3. eg. (assuming a Bourne-like shell):

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/path/to/libgd-gd-2.1.1/lib

    Then run ./Build test again and see if that makes any difference.

    In future I would very strongly advise you not to install software into the same directory where its source resides - this will likely cause you trouble. If you can do it now, re-install libgd somewhere else, eg $HOME/lib if you have no rights to any of the usual locations.

      ok. I understand your concern.

      Well, It changes now, but again with fail test.

      Now, Its like:-

      t/GD.t ........ 1/11 # Testing using gd2 support. # Failed test 'image comparison test 7' # at t/GD.t line 249. # Looks like you failed 1 test of 11. t/GD.t ........ Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) Failed 1/11 subtests t/Polyline.t .. ok Test Summary Report ------------------- t/GD.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 11 Failed: 1) <p> Failed test: 9 Non-zero exit status: 1 Files=2, Tests=12, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.03 sys + 0.14 cusr + 0.08 csys = 0.27 CPU) Result: FAIL Failed 1/2 test programs. 1/12 subtests failed.

        Don't sweat the test 7 fail - if you check around the google-net, you'll find that the test, and possibly other other "round-trip" image tests, fail because of non-GD use which makes for non-identical images. Apparently ignorable.

        Sigh.
