The most obvious question is: Have you installed the GD library? If you
have, did you install it from the the Auxillary Software that came with
Solaris9?  I've found that a lot of the "linux" software included by Sun
on the Installation DVDs goes into odd places -- places you'd never
think to look on a Intel/Linux setup....I'm new to Solaris so I'm using
the "find" command a lot!

I'm at home at the moment and not near a Solaris9 w/s so can't give you
more details from memory...
