[EMBOSS] EMBOSS Install problem: Can't make gd.c

[ajb at ebi.ac.uk]

Hello Cass,

You will get that error if the system thinks that you have a
version of the GD libraries less than version 2 on your system.

You would do well to check what version of GD (and its associated
dev[elopment] package) you have installed. After loading
any new GD package onto your system then you'll need to
do the EMBOSS './configure' step again.

We do not use Ubuntu here but, from memory (which could be wrong), the
relevant Ubuntu packages you need will be called something like libgd2 and
libgd2-dev.
