| Hi all,
I have tried to install Gd using the following:
perl -MCPAN -e "install Gd;"
Perl downloaded the package, and tried to install it, but it ended telling
"Cannot install Gd. Don't know what it is".
Do you have any idea what could be the problem or how to install Gd?
Note: I use Perl 5.8.4 under Windows 2000.
And BTW. I hope I won't need to install a C compiler, then download Gd
tarball, and compile it manually....
Thank you.
Teddy

if ( $your_perl_dist eq "Activestate" ) {
`ppm install gd`;
} else {
download_activestate_perl()
}
:)
try write to commandline:
ppm install gd

Perl modules are case sensitive.
Foo.pm and FOO.pm are different modules (or would be, if they existed.)
Fix the case of the module you're installing and it should work.

You may well need a C compiler. I've never used it on Windows, but I
understand that some people have luck using Cygwin's gcc/make toolkit to
build modules like this. For that matter, you may just be able to find
this module itself in Cygwin's catalog...

| Thanks. I have tried that, but it told me that it cannot find the ppd for
GD.

[c:\4nt]ppm install GD
====================
Install 'GD' version 2.16 in ActivePerl 5.8.4.810.
====================

maybe you tried it with lowercase, sorry for that. Also check if you
have right repository, but GD should be in standard AS repositories.

| Hi,
It seems that there is no GD in the default ActiveState repository.
I have tried:
C:\Documents and Settings\teddy>ppm install GD
Error: PPD for 'GD.ppd' could not be found.
C:\Documents and Settings\teddy>
Please tell me (if you know) the address of a repository that has GD, in
order to add it.
Thank you.
Teddy
