[Bioperl-l] bioperl graphic question

[Todd Harris]

Hi Jun Hu -

As noted in the install guide, you will need to upgrade your libgd.
Although using libgd 1.8.4 may not necessarily result in runtime errors,
graphical elements may not appear as intended.  Some glyphs will not render
at all with 1.8.4.

We needed to move to libgd2 in order to support the generation of both
raster (png) and vector (svg) images from the same codebase.
