in reply to Trouble Installing GD

You could install GD-2.35 by running:
ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/GD.ppd
Of course, that doesn't help you if you really want to build it yourself :-)

    I've tried ppm-ing it in, but it hasn't worked, as the ppm doesn't seem to be able to find libgd on my machine. Perhaps I should have installed libgd somewhere else? Right now it's in C:\Program Files\GD, and Perl is in C:\Perl. Any advice would be awesome... I definitely appreciate the thought, Rob, just that I've already taken a crack at it that way. Cheers, K.

      PPM doesn't need to find libgd on your machine. (The binaries already incorporate the libgd functionality, so you don't need libgd on your machine.)

      1) What was the exact ppm command that you ran ?
      2) What was the exact error you got ?
      3) What does running perl -v produce ?

      Cheers,
