libGD

GD is an open source code library for the dynamic creation of images by programmers. GD is written in C, and “wrappers” are available for Perl, PHP and other languages. GD creates PNG, JPEG and GIF images, among other formats. GD is commonly used to generate charts, graphics, thumbnails, and most anything else, on the fly. While not restricted to use on the web, the most common applications of GD involve web site development.

See the GD website for more informations.

Details I am trying to use libgd in perl. I download all of the libraries to do this and they compiled and installed, including running the gdtest and gdtestft. I download the gd wrapper for perl and when I ran a perl script with basically just “use gd” in it, I get a: Can’t find ‘boot_GD’ symbol in /usr/local/lib/libGD.dylib at createJPGs.pl line 9 Compilation failed in require at createJPGs.pl line 9. BEGIN failed–compilation aborted at createJPGs.pl line 9. I think this is a problem with the GD install (or not?)
