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

[Nigel Binns]

Hi Mahmut,

I ran the command you provide and got the response: package gd-devel is 
not installed.

I checked RHN again and can confirm that there is no such RPM package 
(i.e. a devel version) available for our system (Red Hat Enterprise 
Linux Server release 6.1 (Santiago) 64-bit).

I'm probably being incredibly naive, but do you think it would work if I 
manually copied the gd.h file from the gd distribution tarball (obtained 
directly from the GD project website) into the /usr/include directory?

Best regards,

Nigel
