GD installation on ia64 linux

[edge]

I'm trying to install GD on my ia64 linux recently. Unfortunately, it seems like got a lot of error message when I installing it
Does anyone has successfully installed the GD (use for Gbrowse installation) on a ia64 linux system, can you help me walk through the installation?
Or give any useful link got mention the way to archive GD install successful?
Thanks for any suggestion and advice.

Hi, I used to work on ia64, which distro are you using? I worked on gentoo linux and GD emerged without issues.
Can you paste your error?

Hi dawe,

I worked on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2. Actually my main purpose is install Gbrowse. For installing Gbrowse, I need to prerequisites quite a lot of other software as well. Now I stack when trying to install GD
I facing the following error message:

Have you installed all the dependencies? i.e. fontconfig, libpng, libgd, libjpeg. Also, have you tried to install GD with CPAN?

[edge]

yup. I got install all the dependencies. Just not sure why will stuck when trying to install GD
Do you mind to share your installation experience with me?
thanks a lot first.

[dawe]

Well, I used gentoo linux and everything was just a matter of

# emerge GD

Nevertheless, I have a question about the command you posted above... After generating the makefile, have you issued "make" (before the test)? What is the output of "make" command

[edge]

Hi, below is the content after I type "make"

Thanks for your advice.

I got try the command that you used. It is not worked
It just showed that "-bash: emerge: command not found"
I believe that is because the linux system that we use are different.

Of course not :-) "emerge" is shipped with gentoo only... BTW looking at your make output there's nothing strange...
Just a question, to be sure... did you issued

$ make

also before starting this thread? If not, can you try

$ make test && sudo make install

one more time? It appears to me that you were missing the GD.so object when you got you errors...

[edge]

yup. I just trying your suggestion. seems like still facing same problem
I agree with what you said. I also got realize that seems like the "GD.so" cause the error

[dawe]

And what about

$ sudo yum install gd

?
since you are using redhat...

[edge]

thanks a lot for your suggestion. Actually I got try this before as well.
Unfortunately, I found out that my linux don't supported by redhat
Thus I unable to use the "yum" command
haiz...
it seems like quite troublesome install GD in linux
really thanks for all of your advice and suggestion, dawe.

Hi dawe,

I gonna out for dinner now. Try again later
If you got find out any better solution, kindly told me anytime.
thanks a lot first ^^
