perl nightmare

Looks like you are missing some headers, instead of sending the last few
lines of errors, send the first few.

The README or INSTALL file that comes with GD may give you some hints of
what you are missing.

You should find the GD source in ~/.cpan/build/

If you post the first couple of error lines I am sure we can figure it
out.

Hello,

What is the *best* method to load perl modules?

I am trying to load the GD module from CPAN with;

perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install GD

..., but I get a fist full of errors (below),

<snip>

make: *** [GD.o] Error 1
  /usr/bin/make  -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

The GD errors are numerous. These shown are only the last few lines. 

Using "perl, v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,


~James
