I'm trying to get HF-Lab installed on my RedHat 6.2 box. Initial attempts at
compile revealed that gd-1.3 wasn't providing the support for PNGs that
HF-Lab needs.
So I'm trying to install gd-1.7.3. I've tried making it from the tarball and
I've tried installing the RPM. Neither errored out, but nor does gd-1.7.3
seem to be installed on the system. RPM -V tells me not installed.

make on hf-lab still tries to get gdImagePng out of gd-1.3
There is an option to make it without current gd support... editing the
config.h file to #define OLD_GD. Of course, that removes all imaging support
from hf-lab, or I assume that is why I get a seg fault when trying the
'show' command that displays the image.

I am farily new to Linux, but pick up quick, quick enough to be dangerous,
and I hope I haven't hosed my system :)

Any experienced input?

With 1.7.3 try 

# rpm --freshen gd-1.7.3.rpm 

Also this might be a libpng problem rather than a gd problem.  My libpng
version is 1.0.5 (recently upgraded), and I have no problems with it.

	You have a suggestion from Steve. Does that work for you? I have it
compiled. I have not played with it much. But I find an original version
of fftn.c with a modified version. I have no memory if I changed it or
it came that way. But I can send it to you if you like.
