Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for your reply and say,

gd headers (.h files). If gd.h is _not_ in /usr/include this is futile. 
I would guess that this is an unlikely place to find it.

you can find out exactly what's going on by reading configure (/gd might 
be a good place to start).

What configure is doing is trying to locate your headers and libraries 
by compiling stuff like

#include <gd.h>
main() {
 /* some gd lib call */
}

with gcc -I <path_to_gd_headers> -L <path_to_gd_lib> -l gd .. yada 
test.c

when it fails, it reports what you see.

In other words, it can't find something.

Since you have eliminated the libraries, it must be headers.

On this FreeBSD system gd.h and friends are in /usr/local/include/gd

I use --with-gd-inc=/usr/local/include/gd --with-gd-lib=/usr/local/lib 
as arguments to configure.

Try and locate gd.h (with find) and then feed the path to --with-gd-inc

It wants to _attract_ your attention and _tell_ you that it's blown up 
and things will not work as expected.

Unfortunately, no one wants to hear bad news so this _and even louder 
versions_ is usually ignored.

'Welcome to my world' (as a famous man once said [Burton Strauss III]).

FWIW, you need JPEG support also.

HTH,

Yours sincerely.
