in reply to Trying to use GD module

Update: Ignore previous post. New Year's Resolution #18: Read before posting.

Perhaps you installed your GD package in a place that the Perl GD module didn't know about? Was it able to find the GD headers/etc when you installed it originally? What are the pathnames to the *original* libgd.so* files? The GD.pm won't be looking in its own module directory for these libraries. That means it needs to be able to find them in a "standard" library directory (e.g. /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib perhaps, etc.).

    that's libgd. unless there's a piece of it that I completely overlooked, I have a fresh install of that.

    update: It turned out to be a libgd problem, as Fastolfe suggested. Although it was installed, it had gone to the wrong /lib. I set -prefix differently during the ./configure step, and it worked out fine.

      I updated my node to re-phrase my question just as you replied, sorry.
