What if you try getting the depot from the HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre?

Here's a link to the gzipped gd-1.8.3 depot file; http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/ftp/hpux/X11/Graphics/gd-1.8.3/gd-1.8.3-sd-11.00.depot.gz

gunzip and swinstall it.

one more thing to add... with all the unresolved symbols, you are missing some things on the box.

Go to this link and look at the "dependences" for gd-1.8.3 - sounds like missing the PNG libs. From here you can get the source code or the depots to swinstall.

I see this is an old post. However I have the same problem.
The depot file installs fine. The problem is in installing the PERL module to use the gd1.8.4 graphics library.
Cause? I don't know. I'm guessing the GD.pm perl module is looking for software in all the wrong places. But there is a preeeety long README file that talks about handling problems.
Not an answer, just a little guide.
