   Support for Fontconfig library:   no
   Support for Xpm library:          no
   Support for pthreads:             yes

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating config/Makefile
config.status: creating config/gdlib-config

make ran without problems. Did a make install and it reported:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Perl Modules

GD

untar'd GD-2.35 and ran perl Makefile.PL

[ytl@iepmbw GD-2.35]$ perl Makefile.PL 
NOTICE: This module requires libgd 2.0.28 or higher.

        If you are using Math::Trig 1.01 or lower, it has a bug that
        causes a "prerequisite not found" warning to be issued.  You may
        safely ignore this warning.

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

Configuring for libgd version 2.0.33.
Checking for stray libgd header files...none found.

Writing Makefile for GD

and did a make and make install

GD::Graph

untar'd GDGraph-1.4308 and then config'd:

[ytl@iepmbw GDGraph-1.4308]$ perl Makefile.PL 
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for GD::Graph

The automatic tests for GDGraph are not really a solid workout of the
library. The best way to test the package is to run the examples
before installing it.  You can run the examples in the samples
directory with `make samples` or by going into that directory, and
just running `make`.
If that fails, please read samples/Makefile.

anyway, did make and make install. all went fine.
