[Bioperl-l] gdlib and GD.pm on Dec Alpha running Tru64 Unix

[Govind Chandra]

Hi,

Anybody successfully running GD.pm on a Tru64 Unix? Well, actually I
could get to the point of installing GD.pm because I failed to install
the gd graphics library. 

First of all gdkanji.c failed to compile so I modified the Makefile not
to use it at all and then make gives the following message at the end:

cc: Warning: wbmp.c, line 166: # not in column 1 is ignored, skipping to
end
of line.
        #ifdef __DEBUG
--------^
cc: Warning: wbmp.c, line 168: # not in column 1 is ignored, skipping to
end
of line.
        #endif

        #ifdef __DEBUG

of line.
        #endif

I am using cc as it comes on Tru64 and have not tried installing and
using gcc yet. If somebody has done so please let me know about any
issues involved.

I have everything up and running on a Linux (RH7.2) machine but our
webserver is a Tru64 Unix and these are required for the functioning of
the website.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
