[Bioperl-l] GD installation problems for Solaris 9

[Stephen DiFazio]

Hello,

I'd like to use Bio::Graphics but can't get GD.pm to work under Solaris 9 
on a Sun Blade 2000.  I'm attempting GD 2.07, though I've tried various 
earlier versions as well with no luck.  I've installed the necessary 
prerequisites:

zlib-1.1.3
libgd-2.0.15
libpng-1.2.5
jpeg-6b

Makefile.PL throws the following warnings for GD.pm (only):

WARNING: CAPI is not a known parameter.
Warning: prerequisite Math::Trig 1 not found.

In fact, Math::Trig 1.01 is installed and functioning on my system.

'make install' gives no errors.

Here's the output I get from 'make test':

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"

thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
