I'm trying to install the GD perl lib on FC3.
It fails the make test (see output below.)
Some of the README's in the install dir lead me to beleive that my I need to install perl from source.
Can someone confirm this for me?
Are there any issues with compiling perl from src on FC3?
Thanks
$make test TEST_VERBOSE=1

t/GD..........Can't load './blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.so' for module GD: libgd.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at
This perl module cannot load this shared library: libgd.so.2
Recompiling perl from source will not make this shared library magically appear out of thin air.
Looks like you do not have gd installed at all. You must install gd first, before compiling the Perl API for gd.
