After emerging dev-perl/GD-2.560.0 (part of update world) it seems that the installed files are incomplete, missing the loadable objects: $ perl -we 'use GD;' Can't locate loadable object for module GD in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.22.1/x86_64-linux /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.22.1 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.1/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.1 /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.22.1/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/5.22.1 .) at -e line 1.

When creating a Makefile with Makefile.PL the sections for xs compilation are empty: # --- MakeMaker c_o section: # --- MakeMaker xs_c section: # --- MakeMaker xs_o section: Due to fact that GD.xs has moved from the top dir to the lib subdir (required for Build.PL). When linking ./lib/GD.xs to the top dir ./GD.xs prior to creating the Makefile, MakeMaker picks up the xs sources and adds the necessary rules to build the loadable objects. # --- MakeMaker c_o section: .c.i: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -E -c $(PASTHRU_INC) $(INC) \ $(CCFLAGS) $(OPTIMIZE) \ $(PERLTYPE) $(MPOLLUTE) $(DEFINE_VERSION) \ $(XS_DEFINE_VERSION) $(CCCDLFLAGS) "-I$(PERL_INC)" $(PASTHRU_DEFINE) $(DEFINE) $*.c > $*.i .c.s: $(CCCMD) -S $(CCCDLFLAGS) "-I$(PERL_INC)" $(PASTHRU_DEFINE) $(DEFINE) $*.c .c$(OBJ_EXT): $(CCCMD) $(CCCDLFLAGS) "-I$(PERL_INC)" $(PASTHRU_DEFINE) $(DEFINE) $*.c .cpp$(OBJ_EXT): $(CCCMD) $(CCCDLFLAGS) "-I$(PERL_INC)" $(PASTHRU_DEFINE) $(DEFINE) $*.cpp .cxx$(OBJ_EXT): $(CCCMD) $(CCCDLFLAGS) "-I$(PERL_INC)" $(PASTHRU_DEFINE) $(DEFINE) $*.cxx .cc$(OBJ_EXT): $(CCCMD) $(CCCDLFLAGS) "-I$(PERL_INC)" $(PASTHRU_DEFINE) $(DEFINE) $*.cc .C$(OBJ_EXT): $(CCCMD) $(CCCDLFLAGS) "-I$(PERL_INC)" $(PASTHRU_DEFINE) $(DEFINE) $*.C # --- MakeMaker xs_c section: .xs.c: $(XSUBPPRUN) $(XSPROTOARG) $(XSUBPPARGS) $(XSUBPP_EXTRA_ARGS) $*.xs > $*.xsc && $(MV) $*.xsc $*.c # --- MakeMaker xs_o section: .xs$(OBJ_EXT): $(XSUBPPRUN) $(XSPROTOARG) $(XSUBPPARGS) $*.xs > $*.xsc && $(MV) $*.xsc $*.c $(CCCMD) $(CCCDLFLAGS) "-I$(PERL_INC)" $(PASTHRU_DEFINE) $(DEFINE) $*.c The README details that building should be done by using Build.pl 4. To compile GD.pm: a. cd GD-2.XX b. perl ./Build.PL c. ./Build d. ./Build test (optional) f. sudo ./Build install I managed to compile the module using Makefile.PL successfully by following the next steps: - chmod u+w <workdir>/blib/script/bdf2gdfont.pl (or rm? - permission denied when overwritten) - ln -s <workdir>/lib/GD.xs <workdir>/GD.xs - perl Makefile.PL - make

See cpan Bug tracking: * https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=99901 (file permission problem) * https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=106273 (build using Build.PL)
Apart from running make/build test, an additional (simple) acceptance test can be running the following, expecting zero exit status: $ perl -we 'use GD;' or $ perl -we 'use GD; use GD::Group; use GD::Polygon; use GD::Image; use GD::Simple; use GD::Polyline;'
I can confirm: # perl -we 'use GD;' Can't locate loadable object for module GD in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.22.1/x86_64-linux /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.22.1 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.1/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.1 /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.0/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.0 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.22.1/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/5.22.1 .) at -e line 1.

Thanks. Symlink workaround applied in -r1.
