And why can't it be that you need to install both gdlib-config and ExtUtils::PkgConfig? The former, as part of the GD package (I don't mean the Perl GD module which is a wrapper) can be done (among many other ways) manually by downloading GD sources or binary-installer. The latter is a Perl module to be installed in the usual ways.

Copying and pasting from one installation/computer to another is rarely a good solution and shows (to me at least) poor IT skills. Albeit, sometimes it is the only solution. AFAIC this is not what you want to do in this case because others reported success.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
