Compiling nagios with libgd under Redhat 9

[Mark Arnold]

Tielman,

thanks for the reply, I will try this tonight.
I had a problem with my X window client not working any more after putting the new directories into the ldconfig.
I guess that will be solved too if I do it your way. Do I only need to have this variable during configure, or do I also need to
somehow tell Nagios during runtime where the libraries are, so it finds them?

Thanks,

MARK
