Hi all
I have been using GD for a while now and I'm now trying to install GD-2.45 from CPAN.
I want it with GIF, PNG and JPEG support but that doesn't seem be getting installed by default.
I downloaded locally and after untarring tried: perl Makefile.PL -lib_png_path=/usr/lib/libpng.so -lib_jpeg_path=/usr/lib/libjpeg.so
these are the locations of the shared object files on my CentOS 5.5


but I get:
root@pluto GD-2.45# perl Makefile.PL -lib_png_path=/usr/lib/libpng.so -lib_jpeg_path=/usr/lib/libjpeg.so
Unknown option: lib_png_path
Unknown option: lib_jpeg_path
I also tried:
root@pluto GD-2.45# perl Makefile.PL -options "JPEG,PNG,GIF"
Unknown option: options
Is Makefile.PL broken or am I doing something wrong?
In the past,
perl Makefile.pl
make
make install
used to do the trick...
Now what?
Thanks for any replies
