[Bioperl-l] libgd

[Ryan Golhar]

Hi all,

Not sure where this should be posted, so forgive me if I'm posting it in
the wrong place.

I'm trying to use Bioperl with RedHat Enterprise Linux v3.  RedHat
provides gd v1.8, however bioperl requires > 2.something.  

So, I downloaded gd 2.0.33 and rebuilt it using a spec file I found from
verion 2.0.16 (I think).  

When I tried upgrading the package using:
[root at hydrogen i386]# rpm -Uvh gd-2.0.33-1.i386.rpm
gd-devel-2.0.33-1.i386.rpm

I get the error:
error: Failed dependencies:
        libgd.so.1.8 is needed by (installed) glibc-utils-2.3.2-95.30

If I do a 'ls -lp /usr/lib/libgd*', I get:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       212978 Jun 17  2003 /usr/lib/libgd.a
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Jan  7 13:23

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       183332 Jun 17  2003
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8.4


If I do a 'rpm -qpl gd-2.0.33-1.i386.rpm', I get:

/usr/lib/libgd.so.1
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8
/usr/lib/libgd.so.2
/usr/lib/libgd.so.2.0.0
/usr/share/doc/gd-2.0.33
/usr/share/doc/gd-2.0.33/README-JPEG.TXT
/usr/share/doc/gd-2.0.33/README.TXT
/usr/share/doc/gd-2.0.33/entities.html
/usr/share/doc/gd-2.0.33/index.html

Here is the spec file I'm using (minus some unnecessary stuff).  Any
ideas?
