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

[Nigel Binns]

This solved the problem. After handling the dependencies associated with 
gd-devel-2.0.35-10.el6.x86_64.rpm, I'm in the process of running the 
Jemboss install script and this time all png/gd libraries were detected 
and compilation of EMBOSS has started.

Many thanks for all your help resolving this.
