Is something wrong with the installation (the old version could handle it)?

    The subject can be closed. The config file told me that the png terminal is existing, but it didn't tell me anything about if it is working. It was said that the Version 4.4 includes Png terminal, but my Ubuntu 8.04 maybe didn't recognize it. I installed the package : libgd2-xpm-dev in addition and now it is working. Thanks for the help from the internet.
