Fair enough, I know I need to install them, and have earnestly been trying

This is during the *tests* of the Perl GD module. Your system libgd
does not include GIF functionality (not surprising since it was until
recently protected by a disputed patent).
Start over from scratch (you may need to blow away the existing
directory) and when you run 'perl Makefile.PL' answer "No" to all of the
options that mention GIF. You should now be able to build and test the
GD modules. Make sure that you also install the GD::Graph, GD::Graph3d,
and GDTextUtil modules as well.
