Hi Arun:

Its not clear what particular module you want to install. However, the steps are standard for Perl modules:

http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html

Be sure to read the README and INSTALL files that come with your module, too.

Regards!

As JRF said. Read that link, but basically, the sequence is

# cd /tmp
# wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JH/JHI/Graph-0.80.tar.gz
# gzip -d # cd Graph-0.80
# perl Makefile.PL
# make test
# make install UNINST=1

GO!

Or, the easier way

# perl -MCPAN -e'install Graph'

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Editor support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help.

Can't locate GD/Graph/bars.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/perl/lib/5.8.3/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi /opt/perl/lib/5.8.3 /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.3/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.3 /opt/perl/lib/site_perl .) at gr

Hi All ,

Iam Getting the following error while installing.

# 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

Where is libgd installed? [/usr/lib] /tmp

Please choose the features that match how libgd was built:
Build JPEG support? [y] y
Build PNG support? [y] y
Build FreeType support? [y] y
Build GIF support? [y] y
Build support for animated GIFs? [y] y
Build XPM support? [y] y

If you experience compile problems, please check the @INC, @LIBPATH and @LIBS
arrays defined in Makefile.PL and manually adjust, if necessary.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Could anyone help me in resolving the issue.

Ah, ok. If you refer to GD as Graph, say so in the first place. It is something completely different, adn - as your last message shows - depends on a whole lot of other things that are to be installed before GD can be built.

http://search.cpan.org/~lds/GD-2.35/

You have to resolve each and every dependancy before moving on. Either build them from scratch or get the depots

-lgd
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Development/Libraries/gd-2.0.33/
http://www.boutell.com/gd/

-lfreetype
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Development/Libraries/freetype-2.2.1/
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/index2.html

-ljpeg
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/X11/Graphics/jpeg-6b/
ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/

-lpng
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/X11/Graphics/libpng-1.2.12/
http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html

-lxpm
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/X11/Graphics/xpm-3.4k/
http://www.inria.fr/koala/lehors/xpm.html

-lz
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Misc/zlib-1.2.3/
http://www.zlib.net/

And of course, if you use above depots, you will also need the dreaded iconv and gettext
