Hi,
I'm having a problem with installing the GD::Image::AnimatedGif perl module.
I get the following error:
Error: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/GD/GD.so' for module GD: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/GD/GD.so: undefined symbol: gdImageGifAnimAddPtr at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 231.
Except there is no such variable (gdImageGifAnimAddPtr) in DynaLoader.pm But before line 231, I found the following comments:
# Many dynamic extension loading problems will appear to come from
# this section of code: XYZ failed at line 123 of DynaLoader.pm.
# Often these errors are actually occurring in the initialisation
# C code of the extension XS file. Perl reports the error as being
# in this perl code simply because this was the last perl code
# it executed.

This problem is coming up when I try to install any GD module. If anyone has any idea why this is happening, please let me know. Would really appreciate it.
thanks

Subject: [Perl-unix-users] GD module - fonts
Hi,
I'm using perl GD module. Everything is working fine except for the fonts.
I tried to create a string at a particular location by saying:
$image = new GD::Image(401,401);
$image->string(gdMediumBoldFont, 60,40, "<---- UP", $black);
and I get the following error:Software error:
font is not of type GD::Font
The funny thing is that the exact statement works if i put it in
another program, running off the same directory on the same local host.
I cant figure out whats wrong.
I also tried loading a font by:
my $font = GD::Font->load("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/cour.pfa");
, but then I get this:Software error:
Success at otherscoresdump.10-27-06.pl line 1318.
Any ideas/suggestions would be really appreciated.
thanks
dhivya
