I wondered about that. Do a rpm -qa | grep gd-devel and rpm -qa | grep libgd

If nothing comes up then you found the problem. As far as scrolling problems go, I would recommend changing the default scroll history from 500 (think that's it) to around 1000 or 2000. Then you can go up further and see where the problems are. Usually it's under profiles or preferences. All depends on what console/term you are running. Not sure if there is a log written. If there is I would check in the working directory for anything with a .log or _log (log something at least).

Check first if you have the binaries loaded.

you will need to install the rpm for libgd and probably gd-devel.

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, I can't get the top list of errors since they scroll off the
screen. If I use the ""Shift-Pageup" combo I get somewhere closer to the
top, but not the top.

<snip>
GD.xs:1269: `polyptr' undeclared (first use in this function)
GD.xs:1269: parse error before "Perl_safesysmalloc"
GD.c: In function `XS_GD__Image_filledPolygon':
GD.c:2010: parse error before "image"
GD.c:2016: `image' undeclared (first use in this function)
GD.c:2016: called object is not a function
GD.xs:1309: `gdPointPtr' undeclared (first use in this function)
GD.xs:1309: parse error before "polyptr"
<snip>

There are pages of these errors. Is there a log generated that has captured
all these errors?

Thank you again,

James

What is the *best* method to load perl modules?

I am trying to load the GD module from CPAN with;

perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install GD




This "should" work however I use a similar method which has worked for me. Keep in mind that I've been studying Perl for about 8 months (and yes.. writing code for work ::grinz::)


Here is one such installation I performed recently.


perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTML::TreeBuilder'



I'm wondering if you have the GD Library installed on the system. This module interfaces with the library. Just a guess.


You mentioned this is the bottom of the errors. Can you send me the entire list of errors generated? I've found that dependancies could be announced in the middle of all the error reporting. Usually stating another module that is missing.

Finally, you might want to consider joining the perl beginners mail list. This is something that would be better answered there. Believe me, they are awesome!
