[EMBOSS] A question about configure of pnddriver

[Hong, Xin]

Dear Alan,

Thank you for the suggestions I get.

I ask the administrator to install the updated version of z, png and gd in /usr/local/lib . The old version is still in /usr/local/lib for other use. However, I still could not get configure go through by
./configure --prefix=/miscapps/EMBOSS-4.1.0 --with-pngdriver=/usr/local/lib 2>&1 | tee configureembossmiscapps 

The following msg still show need to upgrade gd. I belive we use gd-2.0.4, the lastest one.

checking if png driver is wanted... yes
checking for inflateEnd in -lz... yes
checking for png_destroy_read_struct in -lpng... yes
checking for gdImageCreateFromPng in -lgd... no
need to upgrade gd for png driver for plplot
No png driver will be made due to librarys missing/old.
checking if any authorisation type is given... no
checking for gdome2... no

Any one have any idea?

Thanks,
Xin

Dear Xin,

The configuration is only meant for one use of --with-pngdriver and
only one location should be specified.

If zlib, gd and libpng are all in standard system locations (e.g. under
/usr/include & /usr/lib) then you don't need to specify --with-pngdriver
at all. Any of those packages which are not in standard locations must
then be installed under the same directory tree and --with-pngdriver
used to point to that location.

For example, if zlib and libpng are under /usr but gd is under
/sw/packages then you can specify --with-pngdriver=/sw/packages and
that should be fine.

HTH

Alan
