[GRASSLIST:2736] Re: compiling grass and gd includes

[cmbarton]

Thanks very much for the help. I will do this if needed. However, I have 
the PNG library, but don't know what it does for GRASS. What does GD do 
and what do I lose if I disable it?

Also, I do have GDAL installed, but GRASS doesn't want to build to it. I 
have included the --with-libs and  --with-includes  switchs to point to 
my lib and include directories. I have been using GDAL in the 
precompiled binary (for MacOSX) and want to continue to do so.
