Help installing GD

recon_ice has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm at my wits end.

I'm just simply trying to use GD::Graph. But I can't even install GD. It seems that I don't have libgd

Where can I find libgd, and how do I install it on HPUX 11.00?
I am using CPAN (interactive) to try to at least get GD installed, let alone GD::Graph!

I'm still a noob to Perl, but my scripts are getting better and better, but if I can't figure out CPAN, and how to get the modules to work, I'm stuck

Any help would be Greatly appreciated!

You can find GD here. Note that to compile it, you will probably need some other stuff, like libz and so on. In general when looking for opensource stuff, the best directory I've found is freshmeat.net.	[reply]

First step when you have a problem installing modules is to check the documentation. To quote: Obtaining the C-language version of gd libgd, the C-language version of gd, can be obtained at URL http://www.boutell.com/gd/. Directions for installing and using it can be found at that site. Please do not contact me for help with libgd. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
