Re: Installing GD

I thought the problem might be that I was telling perl to build the GD
module with support for things that the gd library was not built
with...however, this still failed.

With DarwinPorts (MacPorts), I built the gd2 port:

======
~ $port info gd2
gd2 2.0.33, Revision 2, graphics/gd2 (Variants: darwin_6, darwin)
http://www.boutell.com/gd/

gd is a graphics library. It allows your code to quickly draw images
complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from
other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a .PNG file.
This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where .PNG
is the format used for inline images. gd is not a paint program. If you
are looking for a paint program, you are looking in the wrong place. If
you are not a programmer, you are looking in the wrong place.

Library Dependencies: libpng, jpeg, freetype, XFree86
------

and then tried:

perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/opt/local/lib -liconv' -options "JPEG,FT,PNG"

'make test' failed with the following output:

Now, I did come across a comment in a google search on this problem
that the fact it is failing here is not likely a real problem and that
I can just go ahead and install the module. Is this true? However, I
would like to see it pass...
