I'm attempting to install GD on my system (solaris8,intel) and I had no problem installing the GD library (the C code) and now I'm attempting to install the perl bindings and I'm getting an error that I can't make sense of when it self-tests. It looks like this:
The tests skipped have to do with not installing the part that handles text (don't want/need it) but the error seems a bit ambiguous.
I went back in re-./configured and make/make install for the gdlibrary, verified what directory libgd.so was in, and then re-ran the install for GD.pm with the same results.
Anyone have any idea?? Just in case its helpful, I've included the entire output of the CPAN.pm module whilst trying to install GD.pm inside the (more) tags.
