Greetings, monks, I'm trying to get the GD perl module running on my machine. I'm running ActivePerl 5.10 and GD 2.0.33. My OS is Windows Vista. When I try to make the perl module, here's what I get: 
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Users\User\Desktop\GD-2.35>perl makefile.pl
NOTICE: This module requires libgd 2.0.28 or higher.

        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 m
+ay
        safely ignore this warning.

        Type perl Makefile.PL -h for command-line option summary


Where is libgd installed? [/usr/lib] C:/Progra~1/GD/lib

Please choose the features that match how libgd was built:
Build JPEG support? [y] y
Build PNG support? [y] y
Build FreeType support? [y] y
Build GIF support? [y] y
Build support for animated GIFs? [y] y

If you experience compile problems, please check the @INC, @LIBPATH an
+d @LIBS
arrays defined in Makefile.PL and manually adjust, if necessary.

I've tried to point out where libgd is installed a number of other ways and have been trying to get this installed for a couple days now. I'm pulling my hair out! Thank you all for your help. Cheers, K.
