There are a lot of common libraries and utilities out there + that Apple did not include with Mac OS X, but which run + perfectly well on it. The GD library, which Bugzilla needs to + do bug graphs, is one of these. +
The easiest way to get a lot of these is with a program called + Fink, which is similar in nature to the CPAN installer, but + installs common GNU utilities. Fink is available from + <http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink/>. +
Follow the instructions for setting up Fink. Once it's + installed, you'll want to run the following as root: + fink install gd +
It will prompt you for a number of dependencies, type 'y' and + hit enter to install all of the dependencies. Then watch it + work. +
To prevent creating conflicts with the software that Apple + installs by default, Fink creates its own directory tree at + /sw where it installs most of the software that it installs. + This means your libraries and headers for libgd will be at + /sw/lib and /sw/include instead of /usr/lib and + /usr/local/include. Because of these changed locations for + the libraries, the Perl GD module will not install directly + via CPAN (it looks for the specific paths instead of getting + them from your environment). But there's a way around that + :-) +
Instead of typing "install GD" at the + cpan> prompt, type look + GD. This should go through the motions of + downloading the latest version of the GD module, then it will + open a shell and drop you into the build directory. Apply the + following patch to the Makefile.PL file (save the patch into a + file and use the command patch < + patchfile: +
