Though, a warning while building the makefile said that I needed Math::Trig

Math::Trig is core perl on 5.8, so it's likely that you already had it. From the GD-2.35 Makefile.PL: 
If you are using Math::Trig 1.01 or lower, it has a bug that
causes a "prerequisite not found" warning to be issued.  You may safel
+y ignore this warning.

GD.xs:2184: structure has no member named `charmap'

According to my gd.h the gdFTStringExtra struct does have a member named 'charmap'. Looks like there is a problem with the 'gd.h' file that is being found. Perhaps it's just that your version of the GD C library is too old. (The Makefile.PL specified at least 2.0.28. What version do you have ?)

GD.xs:2190: `gdFTEX_CHARMAP' undeclared (first use in this function)

According to my 'gd.h': 
#define gdFTEX_CHARMAP 2

So there is something definitely amiss with the rendition of 'gd.h' that is being found.
