a perl -V dump returns something like this :

Compiler:
    cc='gcc', ccflags ='-fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include',
Linker and Libraries:
    ld='gcc', ldflags =' -L/usr/local/lib'

    libs=-lnsl -ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt -lutil
    perllibs=-lnsl -ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt -lutil
    libc=/lib/libc-2.2.4.so, so=so, useshrplib=false, libperl=libperl.

When I run the code you provided, I still get an error :)

I'm using Perl 5.6.1 on RH7.2 and Inline 0.43.
gd.h is at

/usr/include/gd.h
/usr/local/include/gd.h
[download]

and libgd is at

/usr/lib/libgd.so.1
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8.4
/usr/lib/libgdk.so.1.0.6
/usr/lib/libgdk.so.1
/usr/lib/libgd.a
/usr/lib/libgd.so
/usr/local/lib/libgd.a

If this helps somewhat...
