GD module for perl

[ecja]

Hello,
can any one help with GD module for perl.

Server Error
The following required Perl modules are not installed on this server:


GD


Please contact your server administrator or hosting company to install these modules.

Perl modules can be downloaded from www.cpan.org or installed using the programs ppm or cpan that comes with perl in the same bin directory. To install perl module, run the program ppm or cpan or perl -MCPAN -e shell, then type install module_name. Root access required for this action.

I don't know any thing about perl, or how do I install it.

Dag's RPMforge yum repository has a perl-GD package.

Dag's RPMforge yum repository has a perl-GD package.

I install perl-GD-2.35-1.fc5.src.rpm for Fedora 5 but now the perl stop working

That makes no sense since a src.rpm is a *source* package which just contains the sources to build the package yourself and doesn't change anything about your Perl installation.

If you want perl-GD, add that yum repository and 'yum install perl-GD' to get what you want.

You realize Fedora Core 5 reached End Of Life on 29 June 2007 as far as The Fedora Project is concerned? This means no more security fixes will be released for this distribution. I believe Dag might no longer support this release either.

No Match for argument: perl-GD-2.35-1.fc5.src.rpm

You can't uninstall source packages via yum. You'll have to remove the files yourself (probably under /usr/src). Keeping them shouldn't interfere with anything though.

Did you restart apache after you installed perl-GD?

[ecja]

Yes, I restart the server

Actually, the link works ... probably cache ?
By the way, it is useful to check the domain's error log for non-working cgi.

I install it

I got it here
http://www.boutell.com/gd/http/gd-2.0.33.tar.gz

then, unpack and install

tar xvf gd-2.0.33.tar
cd gd-2.0.33
./configure
make
make install

then reinstall the latest GD perl module using cpan:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
CPAN>install GD
