Well, please be more details here. What change is required?

I have added $(MATHLIB) in
src/display/devices/PNGdriver/Gmakefile
but which order is needed?

Mhh. It was developed from CELL driver.
Does anyone have the "gd lib" as .rpm for Linux? Then I could test it
as well.

On Linux it is o.k.

Yes, this color problem was reported from someone else, too.

Mhh, nothing was changed here except the order of include directories
in make.mid (required for solaris).

Thanks for your tests, Andreas,
