[Chicago-talk] Anyone help installing a perl module?

That's because the compilation doesn't actually load the library to 
use.  It's the test that tries to pull it in.

Here's how we build it on our dev server:

alester at blitz[/usr/src]$ cat config.GD
#!/bin/sh

perl Makefile.PL -lib_gd_path="/usr/local/lib" -options="PNG"

If you don't keep configs in a config.whatever file in your /usr/src 
directory, do so.  You WILL need them again.
