Hi,

I emerged GD-2.07 lib for perl-5.8.2, but when I want to create an image (with
ipac-ng), I get the following error:

--<snip>--
/usr/bin/perl: relocation error: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/i686-linux/auto/GD/GD.so: undefined
symbol: gdImagePngPtr
--</snip>--

Any ideas?
Greetings, Matthias

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
(create an image with perl and GD)

hi guys and perl-gurus ;)
is there really no solution or at least an idea for this issue?

i need this tool, but i have no idea where else i could ask for help --
got no answer on mailing lists or forums so far...

no gentoo perl dev here reading this?
greetings, matthias

remerge libgd GD

etcat -u libgd ?
etcat -u GD ?

Are you use +png flag ?
maybe also need +gif use flag ?

yeah Sergey, you saved my day ;)
after re-merging libgd and GD with USE flags "jpeg", "gif", and "png" I
can create images now w/o errors!

Greetings and thx again, Matthias
