or perl -MCPAN -e 'install GD' :)

> which is fine, almost.  It gets to the following part:

I think you need libgd installed - it looks like it's trying to compile some
XS or something to talk to the library. GD isn't gd itself, I don't think.

You'll probably not want the most up-to-date gd if you install it from
binary : they've generally got .gif support removed.

Cheers,

Alex.
