Hi Carl,

Thanks for the patch... I've added the 2 lines you suggested to
configure.in (in the 3.5 CVS source):

  test -f $GD_DIR/.libs/libgd.a && GD_LIBDIR="$GD_DIR/.libs"
  test -f $GD_DIR/_libs/libgd.a && GD_LIBDIR="$GD_DIR/_libs"

We would need to detect that GD contains TTF and/or XPM using the
AC_CHECK_LIB() macro to add those CFLAGS in the configure stuff...

e.g.
  AC_CHECK_LIB(gd, gdImageJpeg, GD_DEF=-DUSE_GD_1_8,, $GD_LIB -ljpeg
-lpng -lz)

I don't have that version of GD running here, so I can't (at the moment)
add the AC_CHECK_LIB() macros that will detect TTF and XPM... but if you
do find them then please forward them to me and I'll update the
configure.in.

Thanks,
