[Bioperl-l] GD installation problems for Solaris 9

[Lincoln Stein]

Hi,

The CAPI warning comes from using a newer version of perl.  I will issue a new 
version of GD that avoids this warning.  The Math::Trig errors warning 
because Jarkko forgot to return a 1; at the bottom of Math::Trig in the 
latest version, and hence Perl things it didn't load properly.  You will have 
to wait for version 1.02 of Math::Trig or add a 1; to the Trig.pm file 
yourself.

To track down the runtime errors, make sure that libgd passed its regression 
tests when you installed it (there are a number of example applications that 
it compiles; make sure they run).  Then make sure that it is installed in a 
library that is included in your standard library path.  Finally, make sure 
that there is not an older version of libgd lurking somewhere.
