[Bioperl-l] more GD woes

[Thomas J Keller]

Greetings,
I never can get GD to work. It is very frustrating.
Here's the error I'm getting running the example 1 script from the  
Graphics HowTo folder:
Can't locate object method "png" via package "GD::Image" at /Library/ 
Perl/5.8.6/Bio/Graphics/Panel.pm line 930, <> line 9.

I believe I have everything needed:
$ perl -MGD -e 'print $GD::VERSION';
2.30

$ ls -l /sw/lib | grep libgd*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root  admin    255244 May 25 09:57 libgd.1.8.dylib

$ locate Image.pm
/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/GD/Image.pm
/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Template/Plugin/GD/ 
Image.pm

I'm thinking the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.  
I.e., one or more of these interconnected files is not finding  
something it needs. But I'll be damned if I know how to find out  
which, much less how to fix it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Tom
