Sorry, just one minute after posting here, I found a detailed instruction at <httpd://www.paginar.net/matias/articles/gd_x_howto.html> after posting which solves the problem: The idea is to produce libtool by configuring gd first, then copy the new libtool to my jpeg-6b directory and run configure there afterwards. gd is installed now, on to the module! Thanks, Jan -- Common sense is what tells you that the world is flat.
