Hi, If you've installed the font libraries in one of the standard places like /usr or /usr/local then Imager's Makefile.PL should find them by itself. If not, you'll need to provide some information to Makefile.PL so it can find the libraries itself. If you've installed freetype 2.x, make sure freetype-config is in the PATH, and Imager can use that to find the freetype 2.x libraries - you should see something like: freetype2: configured via freetype-config when CPAN runs Makefile.PL. If you're trying to use freetype 1.x or T1Lib, you can either set the IM_INCPATH and IM_LIBPATH environment variables, or pass the --incpath and --libpath options to Makefile.PL. To set the variables you might do: % setenv IM_INCPATH /installedlibpath/include % setenv IM_LIBPATH /installedlibpath/lib % perl -MCPAN -eshell Show quoted text
cpan> test Imager cpan> install Imager
where /installedlibpath is the prefix you supplied when installing the library. To use the command-line options you might do: % perl -MCPAN -eshell Show quoted text
cpan> look Imager
% perl Makefile.PL --incpath /installedlibpath/include --libpath /installedlibpath/lib % make test % make install -- Tony Cook
