GD::Image: Can't locate object method "newFromJpeg"

Hi.

I'm trying to execute this script

-----------------------------------
use GD;
my $srcimage = GD::Image->newFromJpeg("image_news.jpg");
my ($srcW,$srcH) = $srcimage->getBounds();
----------------------------------

But I get this error message:
Can't locate object method "newFromJpeg" via package "GD::Image" at
/home/user/script.pl line 2.

I've got 'jpeg-6b' installed at '/usr/local/jpeg-6b'. I tried to
install
GD Perl Module by using:
perl Makefile.PL -options "GD_JPEG" -lib_jpeg_path /usr/local/jpeg-6b
but I get this error message when 'make test'

-----------------------------
t/GD..........Can't load './blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.so' for module GD:
../blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.so: undefined symbol: gdImageCreateFromJpegCtx
at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
t/Polyline....Can't load
'/home/user/src/GD-2.23/blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.so' for module GD:
/home/user/src/GD-2.23/blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.so: undefined symbol:
gdImageCreateFromJpegCtx at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
at GD/Polyline.pm line 45
------------------------------

So I installed GD by using no options, and therefore I got the
described errors.

What am I doing wrong? Thank you very much.

I remember having a similar problem installing GD. GD is very picky
about where it looks for lib files. Below is a complete log I made for
installing GD. Following this, I never have problems. Hopefully it will
help you.

****************************************
*********

add the lib path (Red Hat/Fedora specific I think)
----------------
add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf
run ldconfig -v

install libpng
--------------
cp over scripts/makefile.linux to ../makefile
make && make install

install jpeg libs
-----------------
../configure --enable-shared
make && make install

install freetype2
-----------------
../configure
make && make install

install gd
----------
../configure --enable-shared
make && make install

install GD.pm
-------------
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
perl Makefile.PL
make && make test && make install
