Compiling with gd issues (some hints)

[Graeme Lee]

Installing nagios on OpenBSD 3.5, came across the usual

checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 1)... (cached) no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 2)... (cached) no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 3)... (cached) no

Which everyone seems to run into.  And yes, using --with-gd-inc and 
--with-gd-lib didn't work.  I was using libgd from the ports tree.  
libpng and libjpeg are installed along with libgd.  It all looks good.  
nm lists the correct symbols.

Anyway, compiling a test program (as suggested by a previous user):

char gdImagePng();
int main() {
 gdImagePng();
 return 0;
}

led to discover that libgd was linked with libttf  (true type fonts)

Adding an environment variable LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lz -lgd -ljpeg 
-lpng -lttf"

made everything work as expected

Can anyone add further comments to this?
