Hey, Altho this is somewhat off-topic, Inline is still Perl :)
Anyway, on with the question. I've been trying to use gd (GD's daddy), in an Inline C snippet. I passed a few obstacles but now I'm stuck. it seems that -lgd doesn't get included in Makefile.PL nor Makefile.
The code... 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Inline Config => FORCE_BUILD => 1,
                     CLEAN_AFTER_BUILD => 0;

use Inline C => Config => LIBS => '-L/usr/lib -lgd';
#I tried variations of the above line
use Inline C => Config => AUTO_INCLUDE  => '#include "gd.h"';
#Apparently can't use #include "gd.h" in the code itself
use Inline C => 'DATA';

outtext();

__END__
__C__

int outtext()
{ gdImagePtr im;
  FILE *out;
  im = gdImageCreate(100,100);
  out = fopen("foo.jpg", "wb");
  gdImageJpeg(im, out,-1);
  fclose(out);
  gdImageDestroy(im);
  return 1;
}

Error returned is :perl: relocation error: /path/_Inline/lib/auto/gdexample_pl_2120/gdexample_pl_2120.so: undefined symbol: gdImageCreate Needless to say gdImageCreate is a function in the gd lib.
When compiling the regular C code with normal params, it works fine :(
#include <stdio.h>
#include "gd.h"

int main(void)
{ gdImagePtr im;
  FILE *out;
  im = gdImageCreate(100,100);
  out = fopen("foo.jpg", "wb");
  gdImageJpeg(im, out,-1);
  fclose(out);
  gdImageDestroy(im);
  return 1;
}

with gcc -o gdexample gdexample.c -lgd Any help would be appreciated a lot...
