I *believe* that the rpms listed above are for the GD C libraries, the error you are getting refers to the GD Perl module (which is likely a wrapper around the C libs though I can't say for sure). You should be able to do the normal: perl -MCPAN -e shell > install GD Assuming you have root access, want your modules installed in the normal locations, have the proper C compiling libs and programs, etc. etc. etc. If this doesn't work then come back for a second round... http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
