CVS Monitor / Discussion / Help: Different OS ... Same GD Problems

Phil Greenway - 2003-07-11

Well, I've just installed a fresh FreeBSD 4.8 OS and I get the same installation issues with that damn GD library.

  I even installed GD from the ports
  
  cd /usr/ports/graphics/gd2 && make clean install
  
  and it still won't work.
  
  This is a joke.

  I'm using RedHat (versions from 7.2->9), and, instead of going through the hassle of getting new gd, simply installed an older verion of the GD CPAN module:
  
  in CPAN shell (perl -MCPAN -e shell):
  install L/LD/LDS/GD-1.41.tar.gz
  
  This one seems to work fine with cvsmonitor, and doesn't require heroic efforts to replace RPMs.

  hehe ... yeh I basically did something like that.
  
  I removed GD and the perl modules ...
  
  then
  
  cd /usr/ports/graphics/gd (not gd2)
  
  and make-d that.
  
  then install the perl modules and the setup.pl is now all green ...
  
  :)

  Just tried Red Hat 9 and I still get these damn GD issues.
  
  I download GD-1.84 - then make && make install
  
  Perl CPAN still wants to install GD2.
  
  I actually wonder how useful GD really is.

  Okay ... now I'm going insane ...
  
  I decided to install GD2 on my RedHat system.
  
  Then I ran install Bundle::CVSMonitor ...
  
  and now I can go onto the next step ...
  
  So, to sum up what worked on FreeBSD was the complete opposite on Red Hat.
