can't compile gnuplot with GIF support

[imazen-bot]

I compiled libgd-2.1.0 from source on rhel5:
./configure --with-readline=gnu --prefix=/usr/pppl/gnuplot/4.6.4 --with-gd=/usr/pppl/libgd/2.1.0

When configuring gnuplot-4.6.4 with gd support (./configure --with-readline=gnu --with-gd=/usr/pppl/libgd/2.1.0 --prefix=/usr/pppl/gnuplot/4.6.4), I get:

X Window System terminal: yes
(with multi-byte fonts)
(enable plotting to windows opened by external apps)
(with application defaults, in /etc/X11/app-defaults/)
jpeg terminal: no (requires libgd with jpeg support)
gif terminal: no (requires libgd with gif support)
png terminal: no (requires libgd with png support)
(jpeg, gif and png terminals cannot use TTF fonts, requires libgd support)
pdf terminal: no (requires libpdf)
linux terminal (vga console): no (use --with-linux-vga to enable,
requires SVGAlib)

/usr/pppl/libgd/2.1.0/bin/gdlib-config --features
GD_XPM GD_FONTCONFIG GD_FREETYPE GD_PNG GD_GIF GD_GIFANIM GD_OPENPOLYGON

Any help is appreciated. Thank you,

Irena

hm, not sure what we could do about it.

Have you reported the issue to the gnuplot project?

I thought libgd had complied with GIF support, but it did not. Please see below:

$ gdlib-config --libs
-lgd -lz -lm -lpng16 -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lfontconfig -lXpm -lX11

Any advice? Thank you,

please check the build settings of your gd build to make sure it actually includes gif support
