undefined symbol: gdImageCreateFromGif

Hi.

Trying to install GD Perl interface (by Lincoln D. Stein) on Linux.

I installed libgd on '/usr/local/gd'. I think it's well installed:


[]# /usr/local/gd/bin/gdlib-config --features
GD_JPEG GD_FREETYPE GD_PNG GD_GIF GD_GIFANIM GD_OPENPOLYGON

[]# /usr/local/gd/bin/gdlib-config --version
2.0.34

I downloaded the very last version of GD-Perl (v2.35) from '

http://search.cpan.org/dist/GD/'

and tried to install it:


[]# perl Makefile.PL
Where is libgd installed? [/usr/local/gd]
Build JPEG support? [y]
Build PNG support? [y]
Build FreeType support? [y]
Build GIF support? [y]
Build support for animated GIFs? [y] n
Build XPM support? [y] n

[]# make
it looks fine

[]# make test

I'm trying to execute this very simple code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use GD;^M
$srcimage = GD::Image->newFromGif("mountain.gif");

and got this error code:

/usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/GD/GD.so: undefined symbol: gdImageCreateFromGif

Any suggestion? JPEG and PNG work fine.

Thank you very much.

Ive installed GD on several machines.

I specifically use GD to generate .gif bar graph images from a database for survey results. See if there is anything here that help you. (Output is to HTML)

use GD::Graph::bars;
my @data = (
["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"],
[ $tally_A, $tally_B, $tally_C, $tally_D, $tally_E]);
my $graph = new GD::Graph::bars( 100, 100 );
$graph->set(
x_label => '',
y_label => '',
title => '',
transparent => 1,
);
my $gd = $graph->plot( \@data );

open(PICTURE, ">/var/

http://www/html/images/temp/$FORM{'survey'}_$s_seq.gif")

or die("Cannot open file for writing");
binmode PICTURE;
print PICTURE $gd->gif;
close PICTURE;
