I have tried installing it in my own directory to no avail.

...what happened... did you have access to a c compiler?..

.... i'm sorry to tell you this, but unless you ask the system admin to install it for you (unlikely)... you will then need to compile the GD in your home dir and put it in a local perl5lib .... if GD complains about a library missing....you will have to learn to locally install the library for personal use.... it's doable, but you might want to see what other graphics modules you have available or ask the system admin to install the Perl GD module and any lib pre-requisites it needs

....maybe the sysadmin will let you do it while he/she looks over your shoulder :-)
