Hi Margaret, Are you installing these files as root or as a local user? You may need to give Perl the path to the includes directory for gd when you run perl Makefile.PL using the -I directive. Try reading <http://stason.org/TULARC/webmaster/myfaq.html#7> for more info on doing local installs. Also be sure to read the readme file that comes with GD.pm.
Finally, here's the command line I used when I did a local install of the ImageMagick library: perl Makefile.PL INC=-I/local/web/knowmad/bin/include `cat ~/.perl_dirs` Good luck, William -- Lead Developer Knowmad Services Inc. || Internet Applications & Database Integration http://www.knowmad.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
