Trouble with GD.pm and gd

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

I'm getting the following error while running 'make test' for GD.pm:

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib
-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.0

-e 'use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @AR
+GV;'

The file that contains the symbol gdImageCreateFromJpegCtx is libgd.a in /usr/local/lib. How in the world can I get GD.pm to recognize this?

I'm using: GD-1.32, gcc-2.95.2, gd-1.8.3, libpng-1.0.8, jpeg-6b, perl 5.005_03, and zlib 1.1.3, and solaris 7.

Have you read the bit about patching gd-1.8.3 on solaris systems in the README? CPAN GD Readme Try #2: have you adjusted this part of Makefile.pl? `my @INC = qw(-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/gd); my @LIBPATH = qw(-L/usr/lib/X11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11/lib -L/usr +/local/lib ); my @LIBS = qw(-lgd -lpng -lz);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, when I do so, gd won't compile. It complains that it cannot find libz, which is in /usr/local/lib. -- riot Twisted mind? No, just bent in several strategic places.	[reply]

I forgot to add that I fixed my include path (removed /usr/local/include/gd as gd had installed them in /usr/local/include) and, tadah, still experiencing the same error. -- riot Twisted mind? No, just bent in several strategic places.	[reply]
