perl nightmare

[Tobias Speckbacher]

Directly from the GD README file.

===> NOTE: This version of GD REQUIRES libgd 2.0.12 or higher.  If you
===> have an older version of libgd installed you must remove libgd.a,
===> libgd.so (if present) and gd.h.  Then install the new version of
===> libgd from www.boutell.com (see below).  This particularly
===> applies to users of Linux systems.  Older versions of GD are
===> available at http://www.cpan.org.

you will need to install the rpm for libgd and probably gd-devel.

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, I can't get the top list of errors since they scroll off the
screen. If I use the ""Shift-Pageup" combo I get somewhere closer to the
top, but not the top.

<snip>
GD.xs:1269: `polyptr' undeclared (first use in this function)
GD.xs:1269: parse error before "Perl_safesysmalloc"
GD.c: In function `XS_GD__Image_filledPolygon':
GD.c:2010: parse error before "image"
GD.c:2016: `image' undeclared (first use in this function)
GD.c:2016: called object is not a function
GD.xs:1309: `gdPointPtr' undeclared (first use in this function)
GD.xs:1309: parse error before "polyptr"
<snip>

There are pages of these errors. Is there a log generated that has captured
all these errors?

Thank you again,

James

This "should" work however I use a similar method which has worked for 
me.  Keep in mind that I've been studying Perl for about 8 months (and 
yes.. writing code for work ::grinz::)

Here is one such installation I performed recently.


 perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTML::TreeBuilder' 


I'm wondering if you have the GD Library installed on the system.  This 
module interfaces with the library.  Just a guess.

You mentioned this is the bottom of the errors.  Can you send me the 
entire list of errors generated?  I've found that dependancies could be 
announced in the middle of all the error reporting.  Usually stating 
another module that is missing.

Finally,  you might want to consider joining the perl beginners mail 
list.  This is something that would be better answered there.  Believe 
me, they are awesome!
