[EMBOSS] PNG/GD graphics library issue whilst trying to install EMBOSS/Jemboss v6.3.1

[Nigel Binns]

Hi Alan,

Many thanks. gd-devel-2.0.35-10.el6.x86_64.rpm is indeed available in 
the Optional Server channel. Our RHN subscription permits us to access 
it. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

Again, many thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.

Best regards,

Nigel
