Good day monks has anyone come across a problem like this when trying to install mod GD:

perl Makefile.PL

NOTICE: This module requires libgd 2.0.12 or higher.
        it will NOT work with earlier versions.
        See www.cpan.org for versions of GD that are compatible
        with earlier versions of libgd.

Type perl Makefile.PL -h for command-line option summary

Where is libgd installed? [/usr/lib]

Please choose the features that match how libgd was built:
Build JPEG support? [y]
Build FreeType support? [y] n
Build XPM support? [y]

If you experience compile problems, please check the @INC, @LIBPATH an
+d @LIBS
arrays defined in Makefile.PL and manually adjust, if necessary.

Looks good
Warning: prerequisite Math::Trig 1 not found. **ERROR**

If you open the Makfile.PL the @INC looks like this:

my @INC     = qw(-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/gd);
my @LIBPATH = qw(-L/usr/lib/X11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11/lib -L/usr
+/local/lib);
my @LIBS    = qw(-lgd -lpng -lz);

perl -V outputs this and am not sure if I should adjust the Mafile.PL:

Characteristics of this binary (from libperl):
  Compile-time options: USE_LARGE_FILES
  Built under solaris
  Compiled at Jul 11 2003 13:39:21
  @INC:
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl

Please let me know if any of you know how to correct this issue as the prereq of Math::Trig is installed.

[root@steve GD-2.07] 184# perl -MMath::Trig -e '{print "Hello\n";}'

I am lost on this one....

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
