Re: [GMOD-devel] platform independent install of GBrowse

[Gudmundur A. T. <mu...@cs...>]

   I wish that could contribute to the platform-independence thing using my 
Mac OS X PowerBook G4 at this time, but there is some problem compiling 
the gd (and thus GD.pm which Bio::Graphics needs) on OS X 10.1.5 at least.
  I will upgrade to 10.2 in a  couple of weeks which should give me gcc 3.1 
I believe, plus a whole bunch of upgraded cool stuff. Then I'll try to 
install gd and friends again with the new Makefile.PL Scott describes and 
post my results to gmod-devel.

I'll be able to
