Hi,

I have a problem installing GD on debian.

I have installed the libgd-dev package and when I try to build the GD-module I get the following warning:

** WARNING: found gd.h header file in /usr/includegd.h, but it is expe
+cted at /gd.h. This may cause compile errors! **

** WARNING: found gd.h header file in /usr/includegd.h, but it is expe
+cted at /gd.h. This may cause compile errors! **

Regardless of the warnings the compilation completes (a GD.o is created), but then the tests fail: 
t/Polyline.t .. Can't locate loadable object for module GD in @INC (@I
+NC contains: /home/mh/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.18.1/lib/site_perl/

Anyone seen this before?

UPDATE: I have now tried to use the libgd2-xpm packages from stable (I am using debian testing). Using that I do not get any warnings when the Makefile is created and the compilation also succeeds but in the end I get the same error.
