Can't Install GD

Endless has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello my Serene Meditative Friends,

This looks like an old problem, but I'm having no luck in finding a solution. I'm running OpenSuse 12.2 x 64

Originally attempting to install Image::WordCloud and then narrowing my efforts to just installing GD, I can't seem to get it to work, even with --force or -n . See:

sudo cpanm -n GD --> Working on GD Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/L/LD/LDS/GD-2.50.tar.gz ... OK Configuring GD-2.50 ... OK Building GD-2.50 ... FAIL ! Installing GD failed. See /root/.cpanm/build.log for details.

In build.log, I don't see anything that tells me much:

I have GD installed on my system; it's just the Perl I can't seem to get to install, as per above. Any simple solutions?

    cannot find -lXpm

    That's the error. Assuming you don't have that library installed, the solution is probably as simple as installing it.
    But if you already have that library installed, then we need to work out why it's not being found.

    Cheers,
    Rob
      I feel dumb; when I read that I thought it was just a flag for another command and didn't think it was a missing library. A google search later and I installed xpm and then the package; no problems. I guess I just needed syphilis. Thanks!
