Hi,

I'm trying to compile GD-2.35 CPAN module, but i get this error:

"make: *** [GD.o] Error 1"

Nothing else.
I've tried lower versions, but still get trhe same error.

I'm running RHEL 2.1with PERL 5.6.1

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito

Before installing the GD Perl module, you have to install GD.

Hi, GD is very susceptible to problems regarding version mis-matches.
This includes the libc version, the gd-c-lib version, the Perl module
version, and the version of Perl itself. It's a real juggling act.

The general rule to solve the problem, is to upgrade to the latest
versions of all software. RHEL 2.1 and Perl 5.6.1 is ancient by current
standards ( I think).

You can try to find out, maybe by asking other RHEL users, which
"gd-c lib and GD Perl module-version combo", worked back when
RHEL 2.1 was current.

Otherwise, install the latest Perl, the latest gd-c-lib, and the latest
Perl GD module and hope it all builds on your system.
