[SUMMARY] Perl module error (others may ignore this mail)

Dear Perl gurus,

First of all thanks to Francisco, Ric, Barry and Bill for their accurate
solutions. And the solution was to have "freetype" package which is
available from SunFreeware.com site.

Upon installation of this package, I was further asked to install one
more supporting module "GDTextUtil-0.86" which is also necessary for
creating graphs.

In short, if anyone wants to create graphs using perl, he/she should
have at least following packages and perl modules in system before
anything else.

Name of packages (available from SunFreeware):
=========================================================
autoconf-2.60-sol10-sparc-local			SMCautoc
freetype-2.3.1-sol10-sparc-local			SMCftype
gd-2.0.33-sol10-sparc-local				SMCgd
libiconv-1.11-sol10-sparc-local			SMCliconv
libpng-1.2.21-sol10-sparc-local			SMClibpng
m4-1.4.7-sol10-sparc-local				SMCm4
perl-5.8.8-sol10-sparc-local				SMCperl
zlib-1.2.3-sol10-sparc-local				SMCzlib
=========================================================

Name of required perl modules (available from CPAN.org):
=========================================================
GD-2.35
GDTextUtil-0.86
=========================================================

Cheers,
Vikas

Dear Perl gurus,

The GD module looks like impossible for me to work with. First of all, I
had hard time to install (GD) this module. I had to install following
packages before this one:

#ls
autoconf-2.60-sol10-sparc-local
libiconv-1.11-sol10-sparc-local
m4-1.4.7-sol10-sparc-local
zlib-1.2.3-sol10-sparc-local
gd-2.0.33-sol10-sparc-local
libpng-1.2.21-sol10-sparc-local
perl-5.8.8-sol10-sparc-local

Then I installed the GD-2.35 and it looked to be installed successfully.
Now I tried to run a simple program and it ended up with some
compilation errors and some library files. The mentioned files are there
in system and I have no clue why I am getting these errors.

Please advise where to start the troubleshooting. I have done enough
google'ing on this error and clueless. :-)

Have a nice weekend!

Vikas
