I have already installed GD.pm. I want to make sure it supports PNG. So to check that I do this:
$ perl -e 'use GD; $im=GD::Image->new(); print $im->can("png") ? "yes" : "no" , "\n";'
no
As you see. It prints no
.
Then I download the latest GD from CPAN with the following process:
> wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/L/LD/LDS/GD-2.53.tar.gz
> tar xvfz GD-2.53.tar.gz
> cd GD-2.44
> perl Makefile.PL
> make
> make test
> make install
I expect it to contain the line like this which is a hallmark of the installed PNG support:
Included Features: GD_XPM GD_JPEG GD_FONTCONFIG GD_FREETYPE
GD_PNG GD_GIF GD_GIFANIM GD_OPENPOLYGON GD_UNCLOSEDPOLY GD_ANIMGIF
GD_FTCIRCLE VERSION_33
But instead I got this only:
Included Features: GD_GIF GD_GIFANIM GD_OPENPOLYGON
I wasn't successful with this command either sudo perl Makefile.PL -options "JPEG,FT,PNG"
.
It didn't show GD_PNG
.
What's the way to install GD.pm with PNG support?
I need it to run circos.
Update:
After installing libpng and rebuilding GD
$ brew update && brew upgrade
$ brew install gd
$ brew install libpng
$ sudo cpan
cpan > force install GD
as adviced, I got this error:
$ perl -e 'use GD; $im=GD::Image->new(); print $im->can("png") ? "yes" : "no" , "\n";'

Update 2: Finally I fixed the problem by doing this:

$ perl -e 'use GD; $im=GD::Image->new(); print $im->can("png") ? "yes" : "no" , "\n";'
yes
