found gd.h header file in /usr/includegd.h

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

'make' failed using cpan to install the GD module in perl 5.14.2, installed on a QNAP NAS device. It just said it 'had problems' and 'won't make', 'won't test' etc
So I tried a direct perl compile of the module but got the warning listed in the title of this post during configuration using 'perl Makefile.PL' and 'make' did absolutely nothing! See below for the full output

Googling 'found gd.h header file in /usr/includegd.h' yields many posts but no obvious solution!
gd-2.0.28 has been installed

Prior to pasting what happened, please note this:

find /* -name 'gd.h'
shows:

/share/MD0_DATA/misc/gd-2.0.28/<b>gd.h</b>
/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Optware/include/gd.h
[download]

in case it appears below, /opt is a shortcut to /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Optware

So here we go:

cd /share/MD0_DATA/.cpan/build_dir/GD-2.46-hg6AiN

[/share/MD0_DATA/.cpan/build_dir/GD-2.46-hg6AiN] # perl Makefile.PL
Notice: Type perl Makefile.PL -h for command-line option summary.

Configuring for libgd version 2.0.28.

undefined symbol: jpeg_resync_to_restart That's your problem - the symbol should be defined in the libjpeg shared object. Perhaps you merely need to upgrade your jpeg installation. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

What is the problem here? The stuff you copy/pasted shows no error messages. This usually means there is no problem. Can't help you without an error message.	[reply]
