Thanks, but I was able build gd 1.8.4 (and libpng and libjpeg) correctly following Scott Anguish's instructions on stepwise.com (see http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/2001-06-12.01.html). The reason I think the instructions I followed are cool is because everything worked in 10.1.x with gd built using the same instructions.
Wrt GD.pm, I really don't need that for my programs. I initially installed everything (under 10.2.x) the way I had under 10.1.x because things had worked fine. When I discovered things were not working properly, I installed GD.pm to try and determine whether something was wrong with my gd. Of course, none of that has helped.

Folks,
I am proceeding nowhere, and I am hoping someone on this list can point me toward a solution. I have gd 1.8.4 installed and Apple's stock perl 5.6.0. Everytime I run this one perl program that uses gd, I get the following error --
Searching around on Google I discover that this dynaloader failure seems to be associated with incompatible modules. It seems that for some reason "make install" doesn't always completely overwrite the files in /Library/Perl. It is suggested that I can remove the shared libraries like this:
% find /Library/Perl -name '*.bundle' -print | xargs rm -i
I see there is the GD.bundle that, I think, might be causing the incompatibility problem. Except, I was getting the above messages even before I installed GD.pm. Anyway, I back up the GD.bundle, and try building everything again... still no success. Exactly the same problem.
