Hi Alan,
Many thanks. gd-devel-2.0.35-10.el6.x86_64.rpm is indeed available in
the Optional Server channel. Our RHN subscription permits us to access
it. Hopefully this will solve the problem.
Again, many thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Nigel

I believe that gd-devel for RHEL6 can be obtained by subscribing to their
'optional' channel.
Unfamiliarity with RHEL prevents me from saying how that is done
but it could conceivably cost money.

Hi,
I'm getting a warning message indicating that /usr/include/gd.h does not
exist on my system at the point in the Jemboss install script
(install-jemboss-server.sh) that refers to the libpng and gd libraries.
I confirmed that gd.h does not exist on our server with a system-wide
search. I'm attempting to install EMBOSS/Jemboss v6.3.1 onto a server
running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 Server 64-bit (fully patched). I
have confirmed that I have the following relevant RPMs installed:
libpng-1.2.44-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
libpng-devel-1.2.44-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
gd-2.0.35-10.el6.x86_64.rpm
On our system, the following files are located in the indicated
directories:
/usr/include/png.h
/usr/lib64/libpng.so (plus some other libpng files such as libpng12.so)
/usr/lib64/libgd.so.2
A search via our Red Hat Network subscription indicates that there are
no other gd RPMs available, such as gd-devel.
I've tried pointing the installation script at the /usr/lib64 directory
using the --with-pngdriver flag when requested, but this leads to
another warning saying that /usr/lib64/include/png.h does not exist.
I appreciate that I could just compile and install the libpng and gd
libraries from the two project's websites (in fact I've confirmed that
gd.h is present in the gd-2.0.35.tar.gz distribution), however, I would
prefer that Jemboss used the distro-provided libraries, as these will be
updated automatically via its package management system.
Many thanks for your help.
Nigel
