Bill, Thanks for the help. I followed your instruction pretty well. Had to create a folder named as " MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" for the command work. However the compilation of my program failed at the statement "use GD;" in the align.pm. Wondering if the installation was successful or not. What caused the compilation failure? Thank you. James

Thanks a lot. Go: Here <http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/GDTextUtil.zip> and download GD.zip. Unzip, and chdir to the directory you downloaded to. Then do "ppm install GD.ppd" Repeat with GDGraph.
