Hi Folks,

I've been trying to install the GD libraries for Perl on a FreeBSD 2.1.0
machine with Perl 5.001 for weeks now. gd1.2 works (at least I could run
the sample), and I got GD 1.0 to compile, but whenever I want to run an
example it gives me an error. (The error points to a line saying
'bootstrap GD'). I believe it is a small thing, but I just can't find
it.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

If someone who actually has GD working could even walk me through the
installation from scratch (I can't remember any more everything I did to
get this far) I surely would try to return the favor with something.

Kurt
