[EMBOSS] jemboss

[ajb at ebi.ac.uk]

Hi,

Looking at the script that message is indeed misleading. It will happen
if the script (in the case of Debian) can't find libgd.so.
I don't have a Debian installation to hand but I believe the
package you need to install is libgd2-dev (Debian users on this list will
correct me if I'm wrong). Installing that package should pull in all other
required dependencies for GD/PNG.
