Hi,

It turns out that for module libjpeg.so.8 was symlinked to libjpeg.so.8.0.1 in /usr/local/lib

I deleted the symlink and created a copy with the name libjpeg.so.8

This worked. (Probably this wasn't right thing to do - ie how do I get the make of GD-2.44 to recognize the symlink)

Now the next problem: 

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.4.1
libpng warning: Application  is  running with png.c from libpng-1.2.7
gd-png:  fatal libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in applicatio
+n and library

[download]

I installed 1.4.1 . Does this mean GD-2.44 doesn't work with 1.4.1 and I need to uninstall it and install the older version 1.2.7

BTW thanks so far.
David J.
