[Bioperl-l] "Package 'GD' not found on server." Bioperl 1.4 Install

[JDCGo at aol.com]

Hi,

Tried to install Bioperl 1.4 using PPM on Windows XT with ActivePerl 5.8.3.809, and got message "Package 'GD' not found on server."  Searched for GD but did not find a package called simply GD.

My repositories are:

ppm> rep
Repositories:
[1] bioperl
[2] ActiveState Package Repository
[3] ActiveState PPM2 Repository
ppm>

The following shows the install attempt and the search for GD.  I have installed the packages that contain GD in the name.  Any ideas for a first time poster?

Thanks,
John
