Hello,
I just downloaded the GD Module. Now I need to install it. It tells me in the readme.txt file to do these commands:
IF YOU DON'T HAVE PRIVILEGES TO INSTALL GD.pm in your system's main
Perl library directory, don't despair. You can install it into your
home directory using the following feature of Makefile.PL:
a. cd GD-1.18
b. perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site \
INSTALLSITELIB=/home/fred/lib \
INSTALLSITEARCH=/home/fred/lib/arch
c. make
d. make install
p
You'll now need to modify your GD-using scripts to tell Perl where to
find GD. This example assumes that your home directory is at path
"/home/fred"; change it as appropriate.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use lib '/home/fred/lib/perl/lib',
'/home/fred/lib/perl/arch';
use GD;
... etc ...
What kind of commands are these. Do I need to use telnet. I've never used it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
