RE: gd and libgd

["Fred Magee" <fred magee atk com>]

Thanks, Stephen.

That was indeed a typo as  you guessed.  I thought /lib and /usr/lib
were included by default but I've got this really weird problem.  I'll
do as you suggest and see if I can track it down.

Fred,
        /usr/lib  and  /lib  are included when ldconfig is run by
default. 
You could run  ldconfig -p |grep <libraryname>  to see if the library is

listed in the dynamic library cache. It may be worth running
ldd <program-name>  and putting the missing library name into
find / -name '<missing-libraryname>'  just to make sure the 
required library file(s) is on the system if you haven't already.

Regards,
         Stephen

PS.  A quick final thought is that if  libdc++.so.5  was a typo of 
libstdc++.so.5  then is comes as part of the compat-libstdc++-33..
rpm -q compat-libstdc++-33  might worth checking.
