Re: Need Help with Installing GD.pm

Looks like libjpeg.so.8 is missing. On my Debian system there are libjpeg.*-dev packages that provide such files - installing one of them should help.

Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.

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.	[reply] [d/l]

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.
