Problem compiling GD.pm (perl)

Trying to compile GD on HPUX 11.00. The "perl Makefile" seems to go ok, but the "make" fails - see below. I've installed libgd various ways - from HPUX Software Porting and Archive, from boutell.com. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi!
There could be many reasons for "unsatisfied
symbols":
1.) the symbol is indeed missing on right place/check this with "nm" for only "indef"'s there/;
2.) The reference is wrong
3.) Incorrect link order
4.)Version conflict: /it's your problem I thing :)/ Often runtime libraries depend on each other, so you must have all libraries, compiled on 11.00 in order to escape from
build problems. Refer to attachment here.

Hi

Get the gd source and start again from that.

Thanks for responding.

I've tried to rebuild all dependent modules (libpng, jpge, zlib, freetype, gd). I thinks the problem may be related to libpng. I obtained an eval version of these libraries from TWWfsw and was able to get GD installed.
