Re: found gd.h header file in /usr/includegd.h

[syphilis]

undefined symbol: jpeg_resync_to_restart

That's your problem - the symbol should be defined in the libjpeg shared object.
Perhaps you merely need to upgrade your jpeg installation.

Cheers,

thanks...I installed an upgraded libgd via ipkg (a packet management system) and that particular error has gone. There are NO errors or clues during 'make'. But 'make test' still fails

in particular, the found gd.h header file in /usr/includegd.h !!warning!! persists

Bug #54366 for GD: Multiple gd.h warning

Start compiling stuff yourself (http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/LDS/GD-2.46/README), or start reporting bugs to your friendly neighborhood packager :)

thanks AM. This advice has so far solved the /usr/includegd.h mystery, which seems to have been caused by a symlink in /usr to /opt/include (ie where gd.h resides), but has not yet solved the GD.t test failure.

 make test

I will try emailing the module director as you suggest
