Hello I have an old gd installed on my FreeBSD 4.6.2 system. I have compiled and installed gd-2.0.33 unde +r /usr/local/gd-2.0.33 and am now trying to install GD 2.35 perl module into a perl 5.8.4 located +under /usr/local/perl-5.8.4 ... gd-2.0.33 wouldn't compile unless I specified "-pthread" in CFLAGS so that gcc knows to use the lib +c_r library, which is where the POSIX thread functions are located on this OS. Now the problem with make test is that perl doesn't know to look in libc_r for posix_mutex_unlock e +tc for some reason, and so it says the following when doing 'make test': Can't load './blib/arch/auto/GD/GD.so' for module GD: /usr/local/gd-2.0.33/lib/libgd.so.2: Undefine +d symbol "pthread_mutex_unlock" at /usr/local/perl-5.8.4/lib/5.8.4/i386-freebsd/DynaLoader.pm line + 230. How can I get around this? I've tried meddling with Makefile.PL but can't work out where I might ad +d a similar "-pthread" flag to the compiler... More output is below, including the 'perl Makefile.PL' step, the 'make' step, and the 'make test' s +tep. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks very much Jesse Influential environment variables:
