Missing scripts?

[Greg Webster]

The command I am using is: ./configure --with-gd-lib=/usr/lib --with-gd-inc=/usr/include

I believe that all the gd libraries are in place (installed via dselect in Debian)

# locate gd.h
/usr/include/gd.h

Same error when I have the header file in place (/usr/include/gd.h)

Done, same error.

Actually, all I'd like is for it to be just a little more concise with the error message. For example, if I have libgd and libpng in perfect order, but libjpeg is missing then it should tell me that it's libjpeg that's missing, not the general error message it does now.

Does anyone else have this running on Debian?
