GD and libgd, please help

Hello All,

This issue happens with ActiveState Perl 5.010 for Windows.

I'm using the GD module to generate an image. Everything is ok except for
the following. When I try to use the function copyRotated, I get the
following error message:

libgd 2.0.33 or higher required for copyRotated support at GDTestScript.pl
line 73

I'm using the latest version of GD.pm (2.35) and I also tried installing the
same version with GIF support from the bribes.org ppm repository. I guessing
I have to install libgd manually, but I couldn't find information on how or
where to do it, not even on libgd.org.

I've been trying to find a solution on the web too with no success.

Please, if someone knows how to fix this problem, I'll really appreciate
some help.


Thank you very much in advance,

Paco Zarabozo

Hello All,

I still cannot find a solution for this. I didn't receive any answer to this
message when I posted it, so I kept looking arround for a solution without
success. Today I tried installing the just released GD v2.0.39 hoping to
solve it that way, but the same error still appears when trying to use the
copyRotated function (see message below).

Please, if anyone has a clue, I'll really appreciate to get some help.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Paco Zarabozo

Did you try the new ActivePerl build 1003? It has the GD module built-in,
and it in turn has been statically linked against libgd, so you should
always have a working version of the GD module, regardless of which
version of libgd is installed on your system.
