Looks like you are missing some headers, instead of sending the last few lines of errors, send the first few. The README or INSTALL file that comes with GD may give you some hints of what you are missing. You should find the GD source in ~/.cpan/build/ If you post the first couple of error lines I am sure we can figure it out. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of James D.
