Compiling with gd issues (some hints)

[mshirley at ysi.com]

I had a very similar situation as well.  There's obviously lots of people
having issues with the ./configure script realizing gd is installed since
the script itself says "try this .... if you still can't get it to work
then move on to other things".  Unfortunately i don't accept answers like
that so i decided to get it working.  Using debian and apt-get installing
libgd-dev, libgd2, etc.. still did not provide a solution.  As the other
people have mentioned even with the proper libs installed --with-gd-inc and
--with-gd-lib don't work either.  My final solution although it's not
suggested and extremely messy was to modify the configure script where it
does the check and insert the proper gdfound=yep.  Everything worked find
and i received 0 compilation errors.  I'm sure the other solutions provided
will work just fine but it seems to me there's something wrong with the way
nagios does it's configure.

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?
